Postextubation Use of Noninvasive Respiratory Support in Severely Obese Patients (NCT05918575)
A Randomized Controlled Trial of Postextubation Use of Noninvasive Respiratory Support in Severely Obese Patients
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Around 20% of the obese patients with higher body mass index (BMI) who are taken off the breathing tube and breathing machine (ventilator) end up needing it back to support breathing. The re-application of breathing tube is associated with poor outcomes, including high risk of pneumonia, longer hospital stays, and death. The purpose of this study is to assess if prophylactic use of noninvasive breathing support after removing the breathing tube lowers the chance of needing the breathing tube again.
