There are currently high-flow devices to treat respiratory failure. Our objective was to assess whether the use of high flow oxygen reduces the need for intubation compared with the use of noninvasive ventilation in patients with mild acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). We conducted a comprehensive search of the literature, which resulted in 14 items. We analyzed and excluded review articles, clinical cases and those with pediatric population, which left us with only three items.

Keywords : Acute respiratory distress syndrome; ARDS; high flow nasal tips; noninvasive ventilation; orotracheal intubation.
