Abstract
High Flow Nasal Cannula oxygen therapy
(HFNC) is nowadays widely used at
paediatric intensive care units (PICU) to
provide a safe and comfortable (warm and
humidified) oxygen delivery in children with
respiratory distress. At general paediatric
wards HFNC is hardly used because
intensive observation is necessary to prevent
late discovery of respiratory failure and of lack
of experience. Paediatric Early Warning
Scores (PEWS, figure 1) are used to detect
and monitor severely sick patients. In our
hospital we use the PEWS as developed by
Parshuram with the addition of the body
temperature 1,2 .
