Objectives

Narrative objectives1

Although noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NIV) has been shown to reduce intubation rates and complications compared to conventional oxygen therapy (COT) in patients with chest trauma, its use can be limited due to discomfort during application or contraindications such as facial injuries. High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) therapy has attracted attention as an alternative that offers better tolerability and continuous oxygen delivery. In recent years, reports on the utility of HFNC have increased, but the conclusions remain inconsistent. This study aims to systematically review and evaluate the clinical effectiveness of HFNC therapy compared to COT and NIV in patients with chest trauma, with a particular focus on its potential to avoid endotracheal intubation.

Key inclusion criteria

Adult patients with chest trauma requiring oxygen therapy will be included. A comprehensive literature search will be conducted to capture a broad range of relevant studies. The characteristics of the retrieved studies will then be examined to confirm the clinical and methodological coherence of the patient populations, and only eligible studies will be included in the network meta-analysis. Studies that do not meet the inclusion criteria but are considered relevant will not be incorporated into the network and will instead be reported narratively.

Key exclusion criteria

No exclusion criteria will be predefined. After the analysis, variability in exclusion criteria across the included studies will be described.

Other related information

Participants: Adults with chest trauma requiring oxygen therapy. A comprehensive search will capture relevant studies, which will then be assessed for clinical and methodological coherence. Only eligible studies will be included in the network meta-analysis; others will be summarized narratively.
Interventions: High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC), conventional oxygen therapy (COT), and noninvasive ventilation (NIV).
Primary outcome: Escalation of respiratory support (change in oxygen therapy or intubation).

Study designs: Randomized controlled trials and observational studies with adequate statistical adjustment. Unadjusted observational studies, single-arm studies, case reports, abstracts, and protocols will be excluded.

Search strategy: PubMed, CENTRAL, CINAHL, ICTRP, ClinicalTrials.gov. Period: Jan 2000-Jun 2025. Language: English.

Data extraction and bias assessment: Two reviewers will extract data independently. Risk of bias will be assessed with Cochrane RoB 2 (RCTs) and ROBINS-I (observational studies).

Statistical analysis: Network meta-analysis will be conducted if data are sufficiently homogeneous. Dichotomous outcomes will be reported as risk ratios (95% CI), continuous outcomes as mean differences. Heterogeneity will be assessed using the I2 statistic.
