The Effects of Gas Humidification with High-Flow Nasal Cannula on Cultured Human Airway Epithelial Cells
Figure 4
Total protein concentration in apical surface wash fluid from Calu-3 monolayers exposed to one of three levels of relative humidity: <20% (dry), 69% (noninterventional comparator), and >90% (HFNC). Secretion of total protein increased at 8โhours in the dry group (), but there was no difference between the noninterventional comparator group and the HFNC groups () and no difference between groups at 4โhours (). Data are mean ยฑ SEM. *Group effect (). ยงTime effect (). /condition.
