Summary

High-flow nasal oxygen therapy is commonly used in intensive care unit (ICU). Intra-hospital transfer of critical patients is frequent: 1) to perform diagnostic 2) between emergency room or medical wards and ICU. During theses transfers, oxygenation should be continued. There is high-flow nasal oxygen therapy for transport using an external battery. This mode of operation in transport mode allows about 30-45 min of autonomy. Intra-hospital transport under high-flow nasal oxygen therapy has been previously described on children. The objective of this study is to evaluate the occurrence of complications during intra-hospital transports under high-flow nasal oxygen of critical patients.
