Heat Humidified High Flow Nasal Canular (HHHFNC), Successfulness in treatment using HHHFNCAbstract
This study was survey research aimed to determine the success rate of HHHFNC treatment in pediatric patients and to examine the associations between age, diagnosis, respiratory failure score (RS), and heart rate with treatment success. A retrospective cohort study was conducted at Saraburi Hospital using data from medical records of pediatric patients aged 1 month to 15 years who received HHHFNC. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, and multivariable risk (binary) regression analysis.
Among 112 pediatric patients, the success rate of HHHFNC treatment was 72.32%. A decrease in RS of at least 2 points at 60 minutes after initiating HHHFNC was found to be a statistically significant predictor of treatment success (Adjusted Risk Ratio -2.59, 95% CI 0.22–0.81, p = 0.010).
