continuous removal of exhaled CO2 from upper airways supports cleaner gas exchange
Continuous flushing of exhaled CO2 from upper airways
What this means for you
Every breath you take is more effective when stale CO2 is cleared away before your next inhale. This kind of airway flushing means your lungs spend less effort re-processing exhaled air and more time delivering fresh oxygen — something most people notice as a clearer head and easier, more relaxed breathing.

The review explicitly documents that HFT enables 'continuous flushing of exhaled gases from the upper airways' and that this dead space washout 'reduces rebreathing of exhaled carbon dioxide,' directly matching the response. It further notes this optimizes gas exchange by creating an oxygen reservoir and improving ventilation and oxygenation.
