Complex pulmonary case

When SpO₂ drifts during PO trials on HFNC, how do you frame risk vs. oral intake goals with RT and nursing?

Acute care SLP

Expert review

Evidence-informed guidance

Frame risk with RT and nursing using SpO₂ trajectory, secretion burden, and arousal before advancing oral intake.
