Abstract
BACKGROUND: High-flow nasal cannula (HNFC) is able to provide ventilation support for patients with hypoxic respiratory failure. Early prediction of HFNC outcome is warranted, since failure of HFNC might delay intubation and increase mortality rate. Existing methods require a relatively long period to identify the failure (approximately 12 h) and electrical impedance tomography (EIT) may help identify the patient's respiratory drive during HFNC.
