Which breathing support works best after extubation? small study investigates
NCT ID NCT01928238
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 13 adults who had been on a breathing tube for at least 2 days and were at risk for breathing trouble after the tube was removed. Researchers compared two types of noninvasive breathing support: one that senses the patient's own breathing signals (NAVA) and one that uses standard pressure support (NPSV). The goal was to see which method led to less breathing effort and better comfort. The study was completed and focused on measuring physical responses, not on curing or treating a disease.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
inclusion criteria: * Patients intubated for 48 h or more * Patients who tolerated a 120-min spontaneous breathing trial after recovery from their acute disease with no signs of respiratory failure * Patients at high risk for respiratory after extubation were enrolled if they had at least two of the following risk factors for respiratory failure after extubation: * age older than 65 years * Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, * heart failure as the cause for intubation * An Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE)-II score greater than 12 on the day of extubation. exclusion criteria: * Age younger than 18 years * Head trauma or surgery * Recent gastric or oesophageal surgery * Active upper gastrointestinal bleeding * Excessive amount of respiratory secretions * Poor cooperation * Decision to limit life-supporting treatments in the ICU * Tracheostomy or other upper airway disorders * Lack of collaboration * Do not resuscitate order or any decision to limit therapeutic effort in the ICU.
