Background. High-flow nasal cannulae (HFNCs) create positive oropharyngeal airway pressure, but it is unclear how their use affects lung volume. Electrical impedance tomography allows the assessment of changes in lung volume by measuring changes in lung impedance. Primary objectives were to investigate the effects of HFNC on airway pressure (Paw) and end-expiratory lung volume (EELV) and to identify any correlation between the two. Secondary objectives were to investigate the effects of HFNC on respiratory rate, dyspnoea, tidal volume, and oxygenation; and the interaction between BMI and EELV.Methods. Twenty patients prescribed HFNC post-cardiac surgery were investigated. Impedance measures, P-aw, Pa-o2/FIo2 ratio, respiratory rate, and modified Borg scores were recorded first on low-flow oxygen and then on HFNC.Results. A strong and significant correlation existed between Paw and end-expiratory lung impedance (EELI) (r=0.7, P
