   In high-flow therapy, clinicians can deliver higher FiO 2 than is possible with typical oxygen delivery therapy without the use of a non-rebreather mask or tracheal intubation. [17] Some patients requiring respiratory support for bronchospasm benefit using air delivered by high-flow therapy without additional oxygen. [18]
