   Another type of device is a humidified high flow nasal cannula which enables flows exceeding a person's peak inspiratory flow demand to be delivered via nasal cannula, thus providing F I O 2 of up to 100% because there is no entrainment of room air. [73] This also allows the person to continue to talk, eat, and drink while still receiving ...

6. Respiratory gas humidification - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respiratory_gas_humidification

   Although the humidifying capacity of a bubble respiratory gas humidifier is rather low, it may be improved by increasing the water temperature. A bubble bottle is mostly used in oxygen therapy with high flow rates via a mask, nasopharyngeal catheter, or nasal cannula in order to prevent drying of the mucous membranes in the nose and mouth.
