Multicenter Study of High-Flow Nasal Cannula Initiation and Duration of Use in Bronchiolitis

Abstract

HFNC was initiated in >50% of patients admitted with bronchiolitis in this hospital cohort, most commonly in the ED. In general, hospitals with policies to limit HFNC use demonstrated decreased odds of HFNC initiation, shorter HFNC duration, and reduced LOS compared with the study population.
