Abortive therapy typically is best achieved with nasal oxygen

Dr. Lenaerts is my doc and he definitely knows to use an NRB mask. He is from Belgium and sometimes has to search for the right word to say what he means, so I think it may be something lost in translation due to the brevity of the paper.
