Abstract
BACKGROUND: Extubation failure leading to reintubation is associated with high mortality. In patients at high-risk of extubation failure, clinical practice guidelines recommend prophylactic non-invasive ventilation (NIV) over high-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) immediately after extubation. However, the physiological effects supporting the beneficial effect of NIV have been poorly explored. We hypothesized that NIV may reduce patient inspiratory efforts to a greater extent than HFNO after extubation.
