This study was a prospective, randomized controlled trial that included 60 patients receiving high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) therapy. Participants were randomly divided into two groups: the observation group (n=30), which used a modified decompression fixation protective patch, and the control group (n=30), which received hydrocolloid dressing protection in addition to standard care. The study compared general demographic data, the interval time between changing fixation straps, the times of adjusting the catheter position, the effectiveness of skin management, the number of ineffective oxygenation attempts, the incidence of adverse events, and patient comfort scores between the two groups.

| the modified pressure-reducing fixation protective nasal strip | Device | Materials Preparation consists of one foam dressing, one piece of 3M tape, and two pairs of scissors. 2. Manufacturing Procedure: step 1 Cut the foam dressing into two large rectangles and one little T-shape based on the patient's face shape and size as well as the width of the nasolabial fold. Attach these sections to the nasolabial fold region and both cheeks, respectively . Step 2: Based on the size of the oxygen cannula, set up small, medium, and large fixation patch models. Select the appropriate model according to the patient's condition and make the necessary cuts to properly secure the nasal prongs. Step 3: Check the tightness of the head strap, ensuring it is snug enough to fit one finger beneath it to avoid pressing on the skin around the ears. Ensure proper placement on the patient. See Figure 1 for detailed application. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Interval Time for Changing the Fixation Strap | The time from receiving high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) therapy to removal as per medical advice. up to a month. | |
| Times of Adjusting the Catheter Position | Data were collected every three days from the initiation of high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) therapy until its removal as per medical advice. up to a month. | |
| Effectiveness of skin management | The Braden Scale assesses six factors to determine a patient's risk of developing pressure ulcers. Each factor is scored from 1 to 4 (except for activity and friction/shear, which are scored from 1 to 3), with a total possible score of 23. The lower the total score, the higher the risk of pressure ulcers. (Sensory Perception: Assesses the patient's ability to perceive and respond to discomfort or pressure on the skin; Normal sensation: 4 points. Completely unable to sense: 1 point. Moisture: Evaluates the frequency of skin exposure to moisture. Skin stays dry: 4 points; Skin is often moist: 1 point. Activity: Assesses the patient's ability to move. Fully mobile: 4 points; Completely bedridden: 1 point. Mobility: Evaluates the patient's ability to change and control body position. Fully able to move and control: 4 points; Completely unable to move: 1 point. Nutrition: Assesses the patient's nutritional intake. Good nutrition: 4 points; Very poor nutrition: 1 point. Friction and Shear: | The time from receiving high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) therapy to removal as per medical advice. up to a month. |
| Incidence of Ineffective Oxygenation | The time from receiving high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) therapy to removal as per medical advice. up to a month. |

| Comparison of Comfort Levels | Patient comfort is assessed on the 3th day after the start of the experiment. The scale includes 4 dimensions with 30 items, scored from 30 to 120. Higher scores indicate greater comfort. Total score < 60: Low comfort; Score 60-90: Moderate comfort; Score > 90: High comfort. | Assessed on the 3th day after the start of the experiment |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
