Brief Summary

Brief summary of literature regarding aerosolizing particles with high flow nasal cannula. The scientific evidence of generation and dispersion of bio-aerosols via HFNC summarized in article shows a similar risk to standard oxygen masks.

Abstract

Bio-aerosol dispersion via high-flow nasal cannula shows a similar risk to standard oxygen masks. High-flow nasal prongs with a surgical mask on the patient's face might benefit hypoxaemic COVID-19 patients without added risk for the environment.
