RESUMEN
La cánula nasal de alto flujo (CNAF) es una alternativa en la oxigenoterapia de pacientes en insuficiencia respiratoria aguda hipoxémica, especialmente en contexto de pandemia por SARS-CoV-2. Existen muchos beneficios, con distintos niveles de evidencia y muy pocos efectos adversos reportados a su uso descritos en adultos. Se presenta el caso de un paciente con enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica, que cursando con una neumonía grave por SARS-CoV-2, mientras recibía terapia con CNAF, desarrolló un neumotórax. Esta complicación asociada a la terapia con CNAF es poco reportada en la literatura, lo que motiva este reporte.
ABSTRACT
High Flow Nasal Cannula (HFNC) is an alternative to deliver oxygen in patients with hypoxemic acute respiratory failure, especially in the context of SARS-CoV-2 outbreak. There are plenty of benefits described, with different evidence levels and very few adverse effects published in adults until now. We report the case of a patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, presenting with SARS-CoV-2 severe pneumonia that while receiving oxygen with HFNC developed pneumothorax. This complication associated with HFNC has not been commonly described, which motivates this report.
