The Legend is Real: It’s a Unicorn™ Cannula!
The science behind the Unicorn™ Cannula
Join us for a research-backed journey into the world of high velocity therapy like you've never seen before. Can you determine myth or fact? In this can't-miss live webinar, we’ll explore the science behind the “Unicorn™ Cannula” — and prove that the legend lives up to the hype.
Learning Objectives:
- How high flow is affected by a single-prong cannula and review recent research to understand clinical effects.
- Understand high velocity therapy mechanisms of action and the difference between small bore and large bore cannulas on respiratory rate and CO2 flush.
- Discuss the science behind cannula design and review computational fluid dynamics modeling (CFD).
