Update:
* This trial demonstrates that in poor mental status, Nasal Facemask rather than Full Facemask led to better outcomes (Crit Care. 2013; 17(6): R300)
* John Greenwood, editor of the CCProject, adds this great comment:
Hey Scott,
Great summary and review as always. I've seen a worrisome trend of people citing FLORALI to justify HFNC as a reasonable strategy for pts with hypoxic RF rather than (in my opinion) what should probably be a tool used as bridge during intubation planning. Consider adding this study (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25691263) to your pack.
Just out of curiosity,
