Measure
High Flow Nasal Cannula Only
Receive high flow nasal cannula only high flow nasal cannula (HFNC): HFNC will be initiated at 50 L/min (AIRVO2 or Optiflow, Fisher \&Paykel Health care Limited., Auckland, New Zealand) with temperature set at 37 oC. Nasal cannula size will be determined by the patient's nostril size (≤ 50%). FIO2 will be adjusted to maintain SpO2 at 92% to 95%. Flow and temperature will be adjusted based on patient's comfort and clinical response.
HFNC Plus Prone Positioning
Receive high flow nasal cannula plus prone positioning high flow nasal cannula (HFNC): HFNC will be initiated at 50 L/min (AIRVO2 or Optiflow, Fisher \&Paykel Health care Limited., Auckland, New Zealand) with temperature set at 37 oC. Nasal cannula size will be determined by the patient's nostril size (≤ 50%). FIO2 will be adjusted to maintain SpO2 at 92% to 95%. Flow and temperature will be adjusted based on patient's comfort and clinical response. Prone positioning (PP): PP will be performed before or 1 hour after meal. Before PP, all the I.V. lines and nasal cannula will be checked by clinicians. PP will be performed by patient under the supervision of clinicians. Assistance will be offered if needed. If tolerated, PP will be maintained for at least 30 minutes, until the patients feel tired to keep that position. PP will be performed twice a day for the first 3 days after the patient's enrollment. FIO2 will be adjusted to maintain SpO2 at 92-95%.
