Background Extubation failure is an important issue in ventilated patients and its risk factors
remain a matter of research. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to …

Importance High-flow conditioned oxygen therapy delivered through nasal cannulae and
noninvasive mechanical ventilation (NIV) may reduce the need for reintubation. Among the …

Importance High-flow nasal oxygen may prevent postextubation respiratory failure in the
intensive care unit (ICU). The combination of high-flow nasal oxygen with noninvasive …

Background Intubation and extubation of ventilated patients are not risk-free procedures in
the intensive care unit (ICU) and can be associated with morbidity and mortality. Intubation …

Oxygen therapy is the first step in the prevention and treatment of hypoxemic respiratory
failure and has traditionally been delivered using nasal prongs or masks. However, the …

Intubation and extubation of ventilated patients are not risk free procedures in the Intensive
Care Unit (ICU) and can be associated with morbidity and mortality. Intubation in the ICU is …

Background: Successful weaning from mechanical ventilation is important for patients in
intensive care units (ICUs). The aim was to construct neural networks to predict successful …

The periextubation period represents a crucial moment in the management of critically ill
patients. Extubation failure, defined as the need for reintubation within 2–7 days after a …

Background Lung and diaphragm ultrasound methods have recently been introduced to
predict the outcome of weaning from mechanical ventilation (MV). The aim of this study is to …

Background Delays in the mechanical ventilation (MV) weaning process increase mortality.
The spontaneous breathing test is the gold standard to assess weaning and extubation …
