Postextubation High-Flow Nasal Cannula Oxygen, Randomized Trial of an ICU Quality Improvement Intervention, and Midodrine during Recovery from Septic Shock
Abstract:Even with careful patient selection, up to 20% of patients develop post-extubation respiratory failure and require reintubation (2). Prophylactic noninvasive positive pressure ventilation after extubation has been found to improve outcomes, including all-cause mortality, although this benefit appears restricted to patients at high risk for post-extubation respiratory failure (3) and those with chronic respiratory disorders who develop hypercapnia during a trial of spontaneous breathing (4, 5).There is increasi… Show more
