Abstract
High-flow nasal therapy (HFNT) has an increasing role in the management of acute hypoxic respiratory failure. Due to its tolerable interface and ease of use, its role in chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure (CHRF) is emerging. This article examines the literature to date surrounding the short and long-term mechanisms of HFNT in sleep and wakefulness of CHRF patients. It is likely HFNT will have an increasing role in those patients intolerant of non-invasive ventilation.
