Abstract

Objective: Survey the use of non-humidified oxygen for people with diseases requiring the use of low-flow oxygen at the Respiratory Department, City Children’s Hospital.


Methods: A prospective case series descriptive study was conducted on 569 pediatric patients from June 2024 to June 2025. Data were collected using a structured checklist, clinical monitoring, and analyzed using SPSS.


Results: The study recorded a 74.7% success rate in cases using non-humidified oxygen therapy. Clinical parameters, including SpO₂ levels and symptoms such as restlessness/irritability, cyanosis, head bobbing, discomfort leading to removal of the nasal cannula, nasal mucosal abrasions, epistaxis, and mucus obstruction, all showed improvement compared to pre-oxygen therapy status.


Conclusion: The use of non-humidified low-flow oxygen therapy is effective in improving respiratory status in children with mild to moderate respiratory distress, with a low incidence of adverse events and no serious complications observed.
