100% oxygen via nasal cannula, even at a barely tolerable 6L/minute. Still only results of an intake O2 concentration of <50% [0]. You can with heated humidified systems achieving rates approaching the 100% used here.
But they are still at atmospheric pressures, this research is on a combination of high oxygen (hyperoxia) and high pressures (hyperbaric), which leads to much higher partial pressures of oxygen within the body according to Dalton's equations[1].
