Abstract
Various methods and systems are provided for performing nasal high flow therapy. In one example, a method for respiratory support includes: delivering an air and oxygen mixture for nasal high flow therapy to a patient at a flow setting, the flow setting determined based on a peak inspiratory flow obtained during a previous, spontaneous breathing mode during mechanical ventilation of the patient. The flow setting may be a flow rate of a heated and humidified mixture of air and oxygen delivered via a high flow nasal cannula.
