How High-Flow Nasal Cannula Is Impacted by Nasogastric/Esophageal Tube: A Bench Study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) is a common noninvasive respiratory therapy for respiratory failure, offering positive airway pressure and dead space clearance. In critically ill patients, additional nasal tubes for feeding or monitoring are often required, but their effect on HFNC performance is not well understood. This bench study evaluated the impact of nasal tube placement on dead space clearance, nasopharyngeal pressure, and airway resistance using standard and asymmetrical cannulas. Inserting a 5-Fr tube with a standard cannula had very little effect, whereas bigger sizes (12-Fr and 16-Fr) slightly increased airway pressure and reduce Co2 clearance. An asymmetrical cannula exhibited variable effects depending on the side of the tube placement. Higher pressure and better clearance were achieved with a tube placed in the smaller cannula side. However, if occlusion of the two nares becomes excessive with the tube in place, downsizing the cannula might be recommended.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
