This may raise concerns particularly for COVID-19 patients. The report shows that when using (HFNC) reflux rates are exponentially increased (compared to when using endotracheal tubes) which poses an immediate risk for the patient to suffer massive reflux events potentially causing a secondary gastric aspiration pneumonia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A report published in the Lancet recommends the use of HFNC ventilation in patients with Coronavirus in order to avoid intubation. This makes it paramount that preventative measures to avoid gastric aspiration are put in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To read the full case report titled <strong><em>Reflux events detected bymultichannel bioimpedance smart feeding tube during high flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy and enteral feeding: First case report<\/em><\/strong>, published in the Journal for Critical Care, 2020: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S088394412030650X\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Click here (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">Click here<\/a><\/strong><a class=\"ek-link ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S088394412030650X\">.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Preventing Gastric aspiration becomes even more critical as reflux related aspiration is a major cause for contamination of the lungs with bacteria, potentially leading to increased morbidity and mortality in patients with COVID-19.
