Embodiments of the present invention provide a device, system and method for providing high flow therapy interfaces for use in the treatment of respiratory conditions and in assisted respirations. A nasal cannula for delivery of respiratory gases supplied from a respiratory gas delivery system that includes at least one nasal insert that includes a lumen for the supplied respiratory gases from the respiratory gas delivery system, at least one flange coupled to the at least one nasal insert and configured to partially impede the egress of respiratory gasses delivered to an upper airway of a patient, where the flange includes a top surface defining a corresponding top surface area and where the flange further includes at least one slot that defines a corresponding implicit surface area, the top surface area of the top surface being substantially greater than the implicit surface area of the at least one slot is provided.

1. A nasal cannula for delivery of respiratory gases supplied from a respiratory gas delivery system, the nasal cannula comprising: at least two nasal inserts, wherein at least one nasal insert is structured to allow the respiratory gases to be supplied through a lumen and exhaled gases to be substantially exhausted about at least one flange during use; andthe at least one flange coupled to at least one nasal insert, the at least one flange adapted to position within a nasal passage and having a non-sealing structure that avoids creating a seal in the nasal passage, the at least one flange adapted to partially impede the egress of respiratory gasses delivered to an upper airway of a patient, wherein the at least one flange includes a top surface defining a corresponding top surface area; andwherein the at least one flange further includes at least one slot defining a corresponding implicit surface area, the top surface area of the top surface being substantially greater than the implicit surface area of the at least one slot. 2. The nasal cannula of claim 1, wherein the non-sealing structure is a lobulated flange. 3. The nasal cannula of claim 1, wherein the top surface of the flange is adapted to remain contactless with the inside walls of the nostril during use. 4. The nasal cannula of claim 1, wherein the flange further includes a side surface configured to partially contact the inside walls of the nostril during use. 5. A nasal cannula for delivery of respiratory gases supplied from a respiratory gas delivery system, the nasal cannula comprising: at least two nasal inserts, wherein at least one nasal insert is structured to allow the respiratory gases to be supplied through a lumen and exhaled gases to be substantially exhausted about at least one flange during use;the at least one flange coupled to at least one nasal insert, the at least one flange adapted to position within a nasal passage and having a non-sealing structure that avoids creating a seal in the nasal passage, the at least one flange adapted to partially impede the egress of respiratory gasses delivered to an upper airway of a patient, wherein the at least one flange includes a top surface defining a corresponding top surface area,wherein the at least one flange further includes at least one slot defining a corresponding implicit surface area, the top surface area of the top surface being substantially greater than the implicit surface area of the at least one slot; andwherein the flange does not include a lumen to deliver the supplied respiratory gases from the respiratory gas delivery system. 6. The nasal cannula of claim 5, wherein the non-sealing structure is a lobulated flange. 7. The nasal cannula of claim 5, wherein the top surface is adapted to remain contactless with the inside walls of the nostril during use. 8. The nasal cannula of claim 5, wherein the flange further includes a side surface configured to partially contact the inside walls of the nostril during use. 9. A nasal cannula for delivery of respiratory gases supplied from a respiratory gas delivery system, the nasal cannula comprising: at least two nasal inserts, wherein at least one nasal insert is structured to allow the respiratory gases to be supplied through a lumen and exhaled gases to be substantially exhausted about at least one flange during use; andthe at least one flange coupled to at least one nasal insert, the at least one flange adapted to position within a nasal passage and having a non-sealing structure that avoids creating a seal in the nasal passage, the at least one flange adapted to partially impede the egress of respiratory gasses delivered to an upper airway of a patient, wherein the at least one flange includes a top surface defining a corresponding top surface area,wherein the at least one flange further includes at least one slot defining a corresponding implicit surface area, the top surface area of the top surface being substantially greater than the implicit surface area of the at least one slot; andwherein the top surface of the flange is substantially parallel to a top surface of the lumen of the at least one nasal insert. 10. The nasal cannula of claim 9, wherein the at least one nasal insert has two lumens. 11. A nasal cannula for delivery of respiratory gases supplied from a respiratory gas delivery system, the nasal cannula comprising: at least two nasal inserts, wherein at least one nasal insert is structured to allow the respiratory gases to be supplied through a lumen and exhaled gases to be substantially exhausted about at least one flange during use;the at least one flange coupled to at least one nasal insert, the at least one flange having a non-sealing structure that avoids creating a seal in a nasal passage, the at least one flange adapted to partially impede the egress of the respiratory gasses delivered to an upper airway of a patient during use, wherein the at least one said flange has at least one portion that extends a first distance from an external circumference of the at least one nasal insert that is greater than the thickness of the at least one flange, where the thickness of the at least one flange is measured in a direction parallel to a top surface of a lumen of the at least one nasal insert; andwherein the flange is adapted to fit within the nostril of a patient. 12. The nasal cannula of claim 11, wherein the nasal insert includes an upper nasal insert portion and a lower nasal insert portion divided by the flange. 13. The nasal cannula of claim 11, wherein the flange does not include a lumen to deliver the supplied respiratory gases from the respiratory gas delivery system. 14. The nasal cannula of claim 11, wherein the flange and the nasal insert are integral. 15. The nasal cannula of claim 11, wherein the flange has at least one slot. 16. The nasal cannula of claim 11, wherein the at least one nasal insert has two lumens. 17. The nasal cannula of claim 11, wherein the top surface is adapted to remain contactless with the inside walls of the nostril during use. 18. The nasal cannula of claim 11, wherein the flange further includes a side surface adapted to partially contact the inside walls of the nostril during use. 19. A nasal cannula for delivery of respiratory gases supplied from a respiratory gas delivery system, the nasal cannula comprising: at least two nasal inserts, wherein at least one nasal insert is structured to allow the respiratory gases to be supplied through a lumen and exhaled gases to be substantially exhausted about at least one flange during use;the at least one flange coupled to at least one nasal insert, the at least one flange having a non-sealing structure that avoids creating a seal in a nasal passage, the at least one flange adapted to partially impede the egress of respiratory gasses delivered to an upper airway of a patient, wherein the at least one flange has at least one portion that extends a first distance from an external circumference of the at least one nasal insert that is greater than the thickness of the at least one flange, where the thickness of the at least one flange is measured in a direction parallel to a top surface of a lumen of the at least one nasal insert; andwherein the flange and the nasal insert are integral. 20.
