High-Flow Nasal Cannula Oxygen Delivery during Bronchoalveolar Lavage: A Question of Methodology Influence?

Abstract

intriguing to extend the observation period for a longer period to properly evaluate late complication if any, which the other clinical studies have described. Last but not the least, we also opine that the protocol for sedation would also influence the desaturation rate as mentioned in a study by Douglas et al.. We have to exclude positive end expiratory pressure effect during BAL since it would be difficult to interpret the same during bronchoscopy.
