Predictors of Respiratory Failure Following Extubation in the SICU

NCT01967056 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 750

Last updated 2013-10-22

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Respiratory failure following extubation causes significant morbidity and increases mortality in teh surgical intensive care unit (SICU). However the causes of respiratory failure following extubation remain poorly understood. The investigators hypothesize that extubation failure can be predicted based on preoperative risk factors as well as ICU acquired morbidities including muscle weakness and renal failure.
