    Patients receiving PPV and HFNC showed significant improvements in oxygenation and respiratory rate compared to those on conventional oxygen therapy.

  • 3

    The observation group had lower total complications, ICU admissions, and shorter hospital stays than the control group.

  • 4

    Nurse-assessed comfort and compliance scores were higher in patients receiving PPV combined with HFNC oxygen therapy.
