Beneficial effects of high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) oxygen on oxygenation and respiratory parameters have been reported in a small number of subjects with acute respiratory failure (ARF). We aimed to evaluate its effect in subjects with ARDS. This was an observational single-center study. Prospecti...
