Summary
This study looks at whether high-flow nasal therapy can help relieve severe breathlessness in people receiving palliative care. About 40 patients will try both the nasal therapy and a fan blowing air on their face for 30 minutes each. Researchers will ask how their breathing feels after each treatment to see which works better. The goal is to find a simple, low-risk way to improve comfort for those with incurable illness.
