Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 17 Mar 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
High-flow oxygen therapy has been applied after extubation in cardiac surgery patients with a well-known successful efficacy. The current authors plan to conduct a prospective, randomized, controlled study of the Asymmetrical device Nasal Cannula High Flow Oxygenation (HFNCO) application on high flow (60L/min) with 60% fiO2 administration versus Conventional device Nasal Cannula High Flow Oxygenation (HFNCO) application on high flow (60L/min) with 60% fiO2 administration and versus Conventional oxygen treatment (Venturi mask) after extubation of patients undergoing elective or non-elective cardiac surgery.
