Management of Dyspnea With High-Flow Nasal Air or Fan—A Randomized Controlled Crossover Trial
The effect of airflow through HFNT or fan on dyspnea did not differ in nonhypoxemic patients with advanced cancer. Both therapies seemed to give slight relief on dyspnea without significant adverse events. Thus, the choice between HFNT with air or fan should be made according to the patient´s preferences.
