  1. O2-mask: non-rebreather oxygen mask; HFNC: high-flow oxygen through nasal cannula; CPAP: continuous positive airway pressure; Helmet-NIV: noninvasive ventilation with a Helmet; Mask-NIV: noninvasive ventilation with an oronasal mask; VT: tidal volume; PBW: predicted body weight; RR: respiratory rate; EELV; end-expiratory lung volume
  2. Data are presented as median [25th–75th interquartile range]. P value presented is overall comparison on one-way ANOVA
  3. *p < 0.05 vs. O2-mask
