Description
Pasquale De Vico and co-authors test high-flow oxygen through the nose for fragile patients undergoing a lung biopsy procedure. Their 2025 study covers forty patients at high anesthetic risk having ultrasound-guided needle sampling inside the airways, under deep sedation. Such procedures often dip blood oxygen, and these patients have the least reserve to spare.
Half received standard low-flow oxygen and half the high-flow cannula. The high-flow group's oxygen saturation fell far less, its lowest readings stayed higher, and dips were shorter. They also needed smaller boosts in oxygen concentration to recover. The authors conclude the device meaningfully blunts desaturation in this setting. They note the novelty is the population: proving the benefit in complex, high-risk patients rather than routine cases.
