Traumatic Lung Injury
Conditions
Brief summary
We hypothesize that early and continuous administration of oxygen via high flow nasal cannula in patients with lung contusion and non-severe acute lung injury might reduce the incidence of intubation and hold the deterioration of pulmonary functions.
Interventions
DEVICEhigh flow nasal cannula
Patients in the intervention group receive oxygen through HFNC with a flow rate of set initially at 40 L / min, FiO2 adjusted to maintain SpO2 ≥ 92%, and will be humidified, heated to 34-37 °C, disconnection will be allowed only when ambulation is required, patients will be instructed to practice mouth closing throughout the HFNC therapy as much as possible
