Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to prospectively evaluate the process of implementing HFNO in several MSF projects, varying according to geographical and programmatic contexts, population, health structures, human resources, and management. It will generate evidence on the operational feasibility (in terms of human resources, equipment, logistics and costs) of integrating HFNO into PICU standard of care, as well as on the users' and caregivers' perspectives on HFNO and on the children clinical outcomes observed where HFNO is implemented. This relevant information will guide MSF in the decision making of scaling up HFNO therapy in its projects.
