Background: Respiratory distress after extubation with the need for reintubation is a common event. The act of reintubation is associated with numerous life-threatening complication and high mortality rate. The role of noninvasive ventilation (NIV) in patients who developed respiratory distress is not clear.
Aim of the study: To assess the effectiveness of non-invasive pressure support ventilation (NIPPV) in avoiding reintubation in patients who develop respiratory distress after extubation in hypoxic and hypercapnic patients.
Patients and methods: In this prospective observational study, one hundred and three patients with post extubation respiratory distress met our inclusion and exclusion criteria and were enrolled. NIPPV were applied to all patients and they were monitored for signs of failure of this technique.. View More»
