Description
Federico Lionello and co-authors wrote a 2023 paper on helping lung transplant patients breathe without a neck tube. About fifteen percent of these patients need long breathing support after surgery and get a tube through the neck. Removing that tube is a key step toward recovery, and oxygen given at high flow through the tube might help.
The team followed fourteen patients given high-flow oxygen and compared them with thirteen similar patients on normal oxygen. The high-flow setup was easy to run and patients tolerated it well. Thirteen of the fourteen had their tubes removed before leaving the care unit, against six of thirteen in the other group. The result supports high-flow oxygen as a safe aid in this delicate stage.
