To compare the effectiveness of early high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) and low-flow oxygen support (LFOS) in children under 5 years with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) due to severe community-acquired pneumonia in low-middle-income countries.
An open-label randomized clinical trial enrolled children aged 2-59 months with AHRF due to severe community-acquired pneumonia and randomized into HFNC and LFOS. In the LFOS group, the patient received cold wall oxygen humidified by bubbling through sterile water administered through simple nasal prongs at a fixed flow rate of 2 L/min. In the HFNC group, the patient received humidified, heated (37 °C), high-flow oxygen at a flow rate assigned based on weight range, with a titratable oxygen fraction. The primary outcome was treatment failure in 72 h (escalating the respiratory support method using any modality other than primary intervention).
Data was analyzed intention-to-treat (HFNC = 124; LFOS = 120). Median (IQR) age was 12 (6-20) and 11 (6-27) months, respectively. Treatment failure occurred in a significantly lower proportion in the HFNC group (7.3%, = 9/124) as compared to the LFOS group (20%, = 24/120) (relative risk = 0.36, 95% CI 0.18 to 0.75; = 0.004; adjusted hazard ratio 0.34, 95% CI 0.16 to 0.73; = 0.006). The intubation rate was significantly lower in the HFNC group (7.3%, = 9/124 vs. 16.7%, = 20/120; relative risk = 0.44, 95% CI 0.21 to 0.92, = 0.023). There were no significant differences noted in other secondary outcomes. No mortality occurred.
High-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy used as early respiratory support in children under 5 years with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure due to severe community-acquired pneumonia was associated with significantly lower treatment failure compared with standard low-flow oxygen support.

比较早期高流量鼻导管吸氧(HFNC)与低流量氧疗(LFOS)对中低收入国家5岁以下因重症社区获得性肺炎导致急性低氧性呼吸衰竭(AHRF)儿童的疗效。
一项开放标签随机临床试验纳入了2至59个月因重症社区获得性肺炎导致AHRF的儿童,并随机分为HFNC组和LFOS组。在LFOS组,患者通过简单鼻导管以2L/min的固定流速接受经无菌水鼓泡加湿的冷壁氧疗。在HFNC组,患者接受根据体重范围分配流速、可调节氧浓度的加温(37°C)、加湿的高流量氧疗。主要结局为72小时内治疗失败(使用除主要干预措施以外的任何方式升级呼吸支持方法)。
采用意向性分析(HFNC组 = 124例;LFOS组 = 120例)。两组儿童的年龄中位数(四分位间距)分别为12(6 - 20)个月和11(6 - 27)个月。与LFOS组(20%,24/120)相比,HFNC组治疗失败的比例显著更低(7.3%,9/124)(相对风险 = 0.36,95%置信区间0.18至0.75;P = 0.004;调整后风险比0.34,95%置信区间0.16至0.73;P = 0.006)。HFNC组的插管率显著更低(7.3%,9/124 vs. 16.7%,20/120;相对风险 = 0.44,95%置信区间0.21至0.92,P = 0.023)。其他次要结局未见显著差异。无死亡病例。
对于5岁以下因重症社区获得性肺炎导致急性低氧性呼吸衰竭的儿童,早期采用高流量鼻导管吸氧疗法作为呼吸支持,与标准低流量氧疗相比,治疗失败率显著降低。
