gafas nasales de alto flujo o cánulas nasales de alto flujo
Las dos traducciones son correctas. La cánula nasal o gafas nasales, es un tubo de plástico, que se coloca en los oídos del pacientes. Estas gafas nasales tienen dos pequeñas puntas en el tubo que se insertan en la nariz. Tal vez porque se apoyan en las orejas de los pacientes las denominan tanto cánulas como gafas.
Aquí también vemos que se refieren a los dos términos como si fueran sinónimos:
"Por sistemas de bajo flujo, los más utilizados son la cánula nasal o gafas nasales (que suministran oxígeno [O2] entre el 24% y 36%), la mascarilla simple (40%-60%) y la mascarilla con reservorio, con reinhalación (50-70%) o sin reinhalación (60-100%)".
Por tanto, creo que las dos traducciones que se han propuesto son válidas.

cánulas nasales de alto flujo
Term "glasses" in English refers to the nasal cannulas used to administer oxygen through the nostrils. Translating this literally into "gafas nasales" doesn't make sense in Spanish, as these aren't attached to any sort of glasses to be placed over the eyes.
Please see the following references:
Libro Rojo: nasal cannula o nasal oxygen catheter (cánula nasal, a través de una de las dos narinas)
Global Medical Device Nomenclature: nasal oxygen cannula, basic (cánula nasal básica para oxígeno)

See hits in "Scholar Google", a much more reliable search engine for specialized medical/scientific terminology than standard Google:
"cánulas nasales de alto flujo" = 277
"gafas nasales de alto flujo" = 110
In addition, a friend of mine who's an Anesthesiologist has just confirmed that "cánulas nasales" is what they tend to use in her unit.

: how can it be an anglicism when we don't use "glasses" in this context; I think this text must be a back translation.

Hi Liz! I understand that "gafas nasales" is also used, but, unfortunately, it is considered an anglicism and, as mentioned earlier, it really doesn't make sense to use "gafas" when a more descriptive term is available.
