Objective: to analyze the clinical outcome of patients admitted to a pediatric emergency unit after using a high-flow nasal cannula. Methods: this was a quantitative, retrospective, descriptive study with medical record analysis. Data on age, sex, diagnosis, comorbidities, length of hospital stay, and clinical outcome were collected and organized and analyzed using descriptive statistics, with calculation of means and frequencies. Results: of 94 children, 28 used a high-flow nasal cannula; 71.4% were male, with a mean age of 12.6 months. Most were previously healthy (67.9%). The most common diagnosis was acute viral bronchiolitis (92.9%). The mean length of hospital stay was 7.9 days, and three children required mechanical ventilation, having previously used a high-flow nasal cannula. Conclusion: the high-flow nasal cannula was effective in stabilizing respiratory distress in most cases, especially in infants with acute viral bronchiolitis. New studies are needed to improve indication criteria and identify factors for failure.
