Heated and Humidified High-Flow Oxygen Therapy Reduces Discomfort During Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure This research article was written after a randomized study was done to evaluate the effects that heated and humidified high flow oxygen therapy has on patients that suffer from hypoxemic respiratory failure. In general when a patient is admitted to the hospital and placed on a high flow oxygen device there is no heat or humidity added to the supplemental oxygen the patient is getting. As

Pathology for Diagnosis: Acute Respiratory Failure can result from any irregularity in the components of the respiratory system. Moreover‚ patients who go into cardiogenic shock because of hypoperfusion often experience respiratory failure. “Respiratory failure may result from either a reduction in ventilatory capacity or an increase in ventilatory demand (or both)” (Kaynar & Sharma‚ 2016). This particular patient had
