    The acute condition caused by COVID-19 and its rapid spread led to the collapse of many healthcare systems. The shortage of resources, such as mechanical ventilators, prompted many to opt for high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) as an alternative means to assist critically ill patients. This device is a non-invasive support that delivers oxygen at high flows, with appropriate temperature and humidity, and can provide oxygen fractions of up to 100%. Additionally, it has certain physiological effects that benefit patients. Predicting the success of the high-flow cannula will allow us to avoid delaying intubation, where delays can increase mortality. The ROX index serves as a tool to evaluate HFNC.
