NCT ID: NCT01424202 Completed - Ventilatory Failure Clinical Trials

Effects of Mechanical Insufflation-Exsufflation in Preventing Respiratory Failure After Extubation

MIEICU
Start date: September 2008
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Weaning protocols that include the use of noninvasive ventilation (NIV), decreases the incidence of re-intubation and ICU length of stay. However, the role of NIV in post-extubation failure is still not clear. Impaired airway clearance is associated with NIV failure. Mechanical Insufflation-Exsufflation (MI-E) is an assisted coughing technique that has been proven to be very effective in patients under NIV. In this study the investigators assess the efficacy of MI-E as part of a protocol for patients that develop respiratory failure after extubation.
