The simple face mask can deliver higher flow rates than nasal cannula (6–10 liters per minute) for an FiO2 of 30- 60% oxygen. [1] Nasal cannula and simple face masks are described as low flow delivery systems. [2] [3] Unlike the non-rebreather and partial rebreather masks, the simple face mask lacks a reservoir bag.

Heated humidified high-flow therapy, often simply called high flow therapy, is a type of respiratory support that delivers a flow of medical gas to a patient of up to 60 liters per minute and 100% oxygen through a large bore or high flow nasal cannula. Primarily studied in neonates, it has also been found effective in some adults to treat ...
