Randomized Controlled Trial[Preliminary evaluation of sequential therapy by high flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy following endotracheal tube extubation in mechanically ventilated patients].
To evaluate the feasibility and effect of sequential treatment by the heated humidified high flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy (HFNC) in mechanically ventilated patients following endotracheal tube extubation. ⋯ Compared with NPPV, adoption of HFNC as sequential treatment is a feasible manner in dealing with the mechanically ventilated patients after endotracheal tube extubation, which can improve the oxygenation as well as reducing the degree of sputum viscosity and incidence of nasal and facial pressure ulcers. HFNC is a promising therapy, which may be worthy to recommend broadly in such a clinical situation.
