Filter by:The investigators propose to study the value of non invasive continuous transcutaneous PtC02 monitoring for ventilatory withdrawal guidance in neuro-injured patients and to predict the risk of extubation failure in this category of patients, particularly at risk of re-intubation.
This trial in brain-injured patients will test which of the following will lead to better patient outcomes: (1) an airway management pathway consisting of daily assessments and removal of the breathing tube as soon as patients can breathe on their own and appear able to protect their airway; versus (2) the usual treatment patients would have received if they were not enrolled in this trial.
