The aim of the study was to explore the possibility of predicting HFNC failure based on various EIT-derived parameters.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Methods:<\/jats:bold>\n                    High flow nasal cannula failure was defined reintubation within 48 h after HFNC. EIT was performed with the patients spontaneously breathing in the supine position at the start of HFNC. EIT-based indices (comprising the global inhomogeneity index, center of ventilation, ventilation delay, rapid shallow breathing index, minute volume, and inspiration to expiration time) were explored and evaluated at three time points (prior to HFNC, T1; 30 min after HFNC started, T2; and 1 h after, T3).\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold>\n                    A total of 46 subjects were included in the final analysis. Eleven subjects had failed HFNC. The time to failure was 27.8 \u00b1 12.4 h.

None of the investigated EIT-based parameters showed significant differences between subjects with HFNC failure and success. Further subgroup analysis indicated that a significant difference in ventilation inhomogeneity was found between ARDS and non-ARDS [0.54 (0.37) vs. 0.46 (0.28) as evaluated with\n                    <jats:italic>GI, p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &amp;lt; 0.01].

HFNC failure could not be predicted by changes in EIT temporal and spatial indexes of ventilation distribution within the first hour.
