High-flow oxygen delivery systems provide oxygen to patients at a higher rate than a low-flow system. These devices can be programmed to give a more accurate amount of fiO2 than other systems. This course is designed to explain the differences between high-flow oxygen and other oxygen delivery systems. It can help nurses understand how these systems work and what considerations to make when caring for patients requiring this therapy. Nurses in many specialties can find this course beneficial, as high-flow oxygen therapy is used for neonates, pediatric patients, and adults.
