Objectives

Narrative objectives1

To evaluate the persistence of respiratory physiological effects of HFNC (functional residual capacity increase and ventilation homogenization due to PEEP effect, and reduction of work of breathing due to dead space washout) in stable patients recovering from hypoxemic respiratory failure (clinically stable for more than 6 hours after HFNC weaning post-extubation), and to exploratorily identify clinical background factors of patients in whom these effects persist.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

Global EELZ (End-Expiratory Lung Impedance): End-expiratory lung impedance measured by EIT, reflecting functional residual capacity and serving as a surrogate marker of PEEP effect by HFNC.

Key secondary outcomes

EIT measurements: Ventral EELZ, Dorsal EELZ, GI index, Ventral/Dorsal ventilation ratio, Global deltaZ, Ventral deltaZ, Dorsal deltaZ, Minute deltaZ
Esophageal pressure balloon measurements: Delta PES, PTP
Vital signs: Blood pressure, Respiratory rate, SpO2, Pulse rate, ROX index (SpO2/FiO2/RR)
Blood gas analysis: PaO2, PaCO2, pH, HCO3
Patient-reported outcomes: Comfort (NRS 0-10), Dyspnea (NRS 0-10)
