Brief Summary: In the literature there are no indication on which is the best setting of the humidification temperature at the start of treatment with high flow nasal cannula HFNC in intensive care unit ICU The primary objective of this study is to understand whether there is a difference between the approaches to the humidification temperature for initiating HFNC treatment based on the perceived comfort of ICU patients

We hypothesize that a gradual increase in temperature 31-34-37C or 34-37C could lead to a different comfort as compared to 37C as initial starting setting

The secondary aim is to assess the patients dryness and humidity level of the nose
Detailed Description: This is a single-center parallel arm 111 interventional non-pharmacological pragmatic randomized trial Adult patients who need HFNC treatment for clinical indication will be enrolled and receive a different initial temperature of humidification

The treatment with HFNC will be carried out as it normally happens for clinical practice that is the doctor will decide the oxygen concentration from 21 to 100 and the flow from 30 to 60 liters minute usually 40-60 liters minute according to the patients level of hypoxia For the specific purpose of this study the humidification temperature will be set by the nurse based on the enrollment arm 37C vs 34-37C vs 31-34-37C rather than by clinical decision The 37C arm implies the setting of the temperature immediately at 37C The 34-37C arm implies the setting of the temperature at 34C and after 15 minutes at 37C The 31-34-37C arm implies setting the temperature initially at 31C after 15 minutes at 34C and after another 15 minutes at 37C After 30 minutes at 37C target temperature the patient will be asked to indicate his comfort level using 5 score visual numerical scale VNS ranging from 1 extreme discomfort to 5 best comfort and the dyspnea level using Borg scale ranging from 1 no dyspnea to 10 extreme dyspnea The level of dryness of the nose HFNC settings and vital signs will also be recorded for each step

The treatment with HFNC will be provided with the AIRVO 2 trade mark system Fisher Paykel Healthcare New Zealand

All study procedures will be performed at the ICU of the Fondazione IRCCS Scientific Institute for Research Hospitalization and Healthcare Ca Granda Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico
