Comparisons of the results with collecting filter placed at trachea vs nasal cannula in adult in vitro studies
| Studies | Population | Breathing pattern | HFNC flow (L/min) |
Inhaled dose (%) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Trachea | Nasal cannula | ||||
| Réminiac et al., 2016 [26], and Dailey et al., 2017 [27] | Adult |
Distressed breathing Vt 750 mL, RR 30 bpm, I:E = 1:1, Ti 1 s, inspiratory flow 45 L/min |
30 | 10.3 | 13.0 ± 3.0 |
| 45 | 6.7 | 33.0 ± 5.0 | |||
| 60 | 5.1 | 25.0 ± 2.0 | |||
| Bennett et al., 2019 [32], and Dailey, 2017 [27] | Adult | Quiet breathing: Vt 500 mL, RR 15 bpm, I:E = 1:1, Ti 2 s, inspiratory flow 15 L/min | 10 | 5.4 ± 2.8 | 26.7 ± 1.3 |
HFNC high flow nasal cannula, Vt tidal volume, RR respiratory rates, Ti inspiratory time, I:E ratio of inspiratory time to expiratory time
