Heliox
  • Helium is less dense than oxygen and nitrogen, hence giving it less turbulent flow.
  • A mixture of 70-80% helium with a 20-30% of oxygen is usually used [13]
  • Multiple studies have been performed with conflicting results on heliox.
  • A large multicenter clinical trial on heliox needs to be performed in order to get a consistent understanding of its role.
