The objective was to examine the safety and efficacy of high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) therapy for children with bronchiolitis in a non-tertiary paediatric setting. ⋯ Within the limitations of this study it appears HFNC therapy may be safely commenced in both age groups in a non-tertiary ED or ward, with an appropriate level of observation and robust transfer criteria.
