High-flow nasal oxygen therapy in treatment of dogs hospital pneumonia
The new protocol could be more efficient than traditional methods
High-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) therapy is a non-invasive respiratory support method that provides oxygen-enriched, warmed, and humidified air to respiratory-compromised patients. It is widely used in human medical care, but in veterinary medicine it is still a relatively new method. No practical guidelines exist for its use in canine pneumonia patients, although they could potentially benefit from HFNO therapy. This study aims to provide a new, safe, non-invasive, and effective treatment protocol for oxygen supplementation of non-sedated dogs with pneumonia.
Twenty privately owned dogs with pneumonia will receive HFNO therapy at a flow rate of 1-2 L/kg, and the fraction of ...
