ROX index versus HACOR scale in predicting success and failure of high‐flow nasal cannula in the emergency department for patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure: a prospective observational study
Background High-flow nasal cannula has been a promising initial respiratory support measure for patients with
acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) in the emergency department (ED). However, delayed detection of HFNC
failure is associated with…
