GI index and Global Lung inflation at end-expiration (ΔEELI) during different NHF steps. Global Inhomogeneity Index (GI Index), a indicates a more inhomgeneous distribution of ventilation during lower flows. Post hoc correction was performed using Bonferroni test (§p < 0.05 vs. NHF-0.5). Lung inflation at end-expiration (ΔEELI), b indicates positive pressure effect, and it resulted significantly increased at higher flows. Post hoc correction was performed using Bonferroni test (§p < 0.05 vs. NHF-0.5)
