Summary

Extubation failure is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in critically ill patients. High-risk patients may benefit from preventive respiratory support after extubation. This randomized controlled trial compared noninvasive ventilation (NIV) with high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) in adult intensive care unit (ICU) patients at high risk of extubation failure. The study evaluated reintubation rates, time to reintubation, physiological parameters, complications, and clinical outcomes following planned extubation. The aim was to determine the optimal post-extubation respiratory support strategy for reducing extubation failure in high-risk ICU patients.

Conditions

  • Extubation Failure

Interventions

DEVICE

NIV

NIV was initiated immediately after extubation using bilevel positive airway pressure delivered via a properly fitted face mask with active humidification using a Dräger Savina 300 ventilator (Drägerwerk AG \& Co. KGaA, Lübeck, Germany). Ventilator settings were adjusted to achieve a respiratory rate \<26 breaths/min, tidal volume of 6-8 mL/kg predicted body weight, and adequate oxygenation (SpO₂ ≥92%, pH ≥7.35). Sedation was not permitted.

DEVICE

HFNC

HFNC was applied immediately after extubation using a heated humidified high-flow nasal cannula system (BioVent A-Series, Model: BioHF BB60101; BIO-AOI, Cairo, Egypt). Flow was initially set at 10 L/min and titrated up to 60 L/min according to patient tolerance. Gas temperature was maintained at 37°C. In both groups, FiO₂ was adjusted to maintain SpO₂ ≥92%. After 48 hours, respiratory support was discontinued and conventional oxygen therapy was provided if required. Rescue NIV was not allowed in the HFNC group. All patients received standardized care.
