Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Active Control
Group I: AIRVO 2; new asymmetric nasal cannulaActive Control1 Intervention
The patient's breathing pattern will be assessed by inductive plethysmography while using the cannula and receive HFNT for 2 hours during the first session. Patients will then be randomized to use of the conventional symmetric nasal cannula or the new asymmetric nasal cannula. At the end of the first session questionnaire data will be collected and ABGs will be repeated followed by a 30-minute rest period without any device. Patients will then crossover to receive HFNT via the other cannula type for another 2 hours during the second session. Inductive plethysmography will again be worn and ABGs will be obtained, and questionnaires will again be administered
