Abstract

COVID-19 is an infectious disease spread through respiratory secretions and is responsible for the acute respiratory syndrome that has affected countless people worldwide. High-flow nasal oxygen therapy has been widely used to reduce the pneumofunctional damage caused by the disease. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of high-flow nasal cannula in patients with COVID-19. This is an integrative, descriptive, exploratory review, carried out based on a search for articles in the Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO), Virtual Health Library (BVS) and National Library of Medicine (PubMed) virtual databases, using the descriptors “Nasal cannula”, “COVID-19” and “Oxygen Therapy” associated with the Boolean operator “AND” for greater specificity in the literature review. In order to be included in the study, the articles had to be original, address the use of high-flow nasal cannula in adult patients with COVID-19, have been published in the last 5 years and be available in full. After applying the inclusion criteria, a total of 7 articles were selected. The included studies showed that the high-flow nasal cannula is an efficient means of ventilatory support in patients with COVID-19 and can be considered a safe form of treatment. In conclusion, it was possible to observe that the treatment performed through the high-flow nasal cannula is associated with a smaller number of intubations and shorter hospital stay.
