Abstract

Abstract

Objective To explore the efficacy of high-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy on oxygenation in populations at altitudes above 2500 meters. Methods Participants were recruited from medium-altitude Kunming （about 1891 m above sea level） to quickly enter higher altitude Lhasa （about 3650 m above sea level）. Participants inhaled air using high-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy in Lhasa. The pulse oxygen saturation （SpO₂）, respiratory rate, heart rate and blood pressure were compared before and after the use of high-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy . Results In high altitude area, the high flow nasal canula oxygen therapy went well and smoothly. After high-flow nasal catheter oxygen therapy, SpO₂ improved and respiratory rate decreased with the increase of inhaled gas flow, the difference was statistically significant （P < 0.05）. After using high-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy equipment for air inhalation, SpO₂ improved and respiratory rate decreased with the increase of inhaled gas flow, the difference was statistically significant （P < 0.05）. Conclusion High-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy not only improved participants’ oxygenation, it decreased the effort of breathing, and has potential clinical value in the treatment of high-altitude hypoxemia .
