Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Adult patients (age >=18 years old) presenting to the emergency department 2. Acute respiratory failure , as defined by presence of hypoxemia (with oxygen saturation measured by pulse oximetry (SpO2) less than 90% on room air) and either 1) Presence of respiratory effort such as the use of accessory muscle, paradoxical breathing or thoracoabdominal asynchrony, and 2) Tachypnea (respiratory rate of >25 breaths per min) 3. Treating clinician decide that the patient will need non-invasive respiratory support either 1) high-flow nasal cannula or 2) non-invasive ventilation (NIV)

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Patients who require immediate non-invasive respiratory support or intubation, preventing the informed consent process 2. Patients are ineligible for high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) non-invasive ventilation (NIV) due to safety concerns 3. Patients with tracheostomy 4. Contraindication to Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) placement: pacemaker/defibrillator implementation, burns at the area of placement 5. Anticipate need for intubation within 60 minutes of screening 6. Do not intubate (DNI) or palliative intent only 7. Pregnancy 8. inability to obtain consent
