The Effects of Gas Humidification with High-Flow Nasal Cannula on Cultured Human Airway Epithelial Cells
Figure 3
Cell viability for Calu-3 monolayers exposed to one of three levels of relative humidity: <20% (dry), 69% (noninterventional comparator), and >90% (HFNC). CellTiter Blue cell viability assay was performed to estimate the number of viable cells and determine cell viability by the intensity of fluorescence. Cell viability decreased over time () for HFNC and dry groups. Data are mean ยฑ SEM. *Group effect (). ยงTime effect (). /condition.
