Fig. 2From: Surgical mask on top of high-flow nasal cannula improves oxygenation in critically ill COVID-19 patients with hypoxemic respiratory failureRepeated SpO2 performed with high flow nasal cannula before the test alone (HFNC before test), in presence of the surgical mask (HFNC/surgical mask) and finally again with high flow nasal cannula alone (HFNC after test). *p < 0.05 in a within-factor ANOVA with Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons. HNCF before compared to HFNC after the test showed no statistical difference in paired t testsBack to article page
