Effectiveness of early high-flow nasal oxygen therapy after extubation of patients in the intensive care unit
Authors' conclusion
Early initiation of HFNO guided by the ROX index threshold post-extubation in patients admitted to ICU is associated with reduced reintubation rates and shorter ICU stays.
Study context
- Population
- Extubated intensive care unit (ICU) patients6-month period
- Participants
- 145 patients
- Comparison
- Early high-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) criteria vs before criteria implementation
- Pren = 71reference
- Postn = 74
- Outcome
- Reintubation rate
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
- Post vs Pre: P < 0.05
