It describes HFNC as a safe and effective noninvasive ventilation method used before more invasive procedures. HFNC helps reduce airway resistance, wash out dead space, and improve oxygenation. It's beneficial for conditions like bronchiolitis, asthma, pneumonia, and post-surgery recovery in children. The article highlights the need for proper flow settings based on age and weight to avoid complications like barotrauma. More studies are needed to establish guidelines for its use in pediatric care settings while ensuring safety through careful monitoring of patients' responses.
