Summary

Orotracheal extubation consists in the removal of the endotracheal tube (ETT) when it is no longer required. This procedure may carry a considerable risk of complications and extubation failure. The literature points out two methods of extubation: the traditional method and the positive pressure method.

In a noninferiority clinical trial it was demonstrated that EOT with positive pressure and without endotracheal suction was a safe technique and could be better than traditional extubation. Although prior studies reported better clinical outcomes with the positive pressure extubation technique, its superiority has not been deeply studied yet. Therefore, the objective of our study is to determine whether the positive pressure OTE technique, compared with the traditional OTE technique, reduces the incidence of major postextubation complications (up to 60 minutes) in critically ill adult patients.

PROCEDURE

Positive Pressure Extubation Technique

Positive-pressure extubation is performed by only one operator. Ventilator parameters are set to pressure support ventilation mode, with an inspiratory pressure of 15 cm H2O and PEEP of 10 cm H2O. Then, the cuff is deflated, and the ETT is removed without endotracheal suction. Once the ETT is removed, a suction catheter is introduced through the mouth to suction secretions drawn to the oropharynx by the air flow from the ventilator passing between the ETT and the larynx.

PROCEDURE

Traditional Extubation Technique

Traditional extubation is performed by 2 operators. Without reconnection to the ventilator, the closed suction system catheter is introduced by one of the operators into the ETT and suctioning is initiated. The cuff is immediately deflated by the other operator, and the ETT is removed with continuous endotracheal suction during the whole procedure by the first operator.
