Produktbeschreibung
This book presents the state of the art in high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC), an oxygen therapy technique that has recently proven to be a very promising approach to supporting respiratory function in several medical fields.

In the opening part of the book, readers will learn the differences between high-flow and low-flow techniques and gain an overview of HFNC’s technical aspects and physiological effects.

The book subsequently describes the pathophysiological mechanisms involved in different respiratory diseases, analyzing how this technique positively impacts patients’ respiratory status. The authors highlight clinical applications of HFNC, both in adults and in children, in various clinical settings – e.g. intensive care and semi-intensive care unit, emergencies, rehabilitation etc. – and present tips, tricks and pitfalls, as well as up-to-date reports on technical issues.

The book is intended for pneumologists, intensivists, anesthesiologists, ED doctors, rehabilitation therapists, internists and oncologists, as well as fellows and nurses in these fields.

She completed her specialization in Pulmonary Disease at the Catholic University of Rome in 1997. Her main field of interest is non-invasive ventilation in an acute and chronic setting. Other research fields include weaning from mechanical ventilation, respiratory muscle (EMG, mechanics) and pulmonary rehabilitation. She is the author of more than 50 articles published in peer-reviewed journals and 7 books chapters. For the past several years she has been working with high-flow nasal cannula, above all in rehabilitation. She recently published a paper about the use of the HFNC for rehabilitation in COPD and is working on several protocols in this field. She is also involved in didactic activities held at hospitals (e.g. Master of Physiotherapy and Pulmonary Rehabilitation at the University of Milan and a Master of Respiratory Intensive Care at University Alma Mater Studiorum in Bologna), as well as at national and international conferences.
