About this trial
subjects on mechanical ventilator who are about to be extubated to Non invasive ventilation because the physician thinks they are high risk for failure will be approached and consented for our study. Once randomized they will either be on the standard of care Non invasive arm or the intervention arm which would mean they are placed on the Biphasic cuirass ventilation.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
High risk extubation patients in the Medical Intensive care units who are being thought to be placed on non invasive ventilator post extubation.

Treatments tested in this trial
Biphasic cuirass ventilator which is a type of negative pressure ventilator will be applied to patients on the intervention arm
DeviceAs opposed to patients being placed on Non invasive ventilation (CPAP or BiPAP) the intervention arm patients will be placed on the Biphasic cuirass ventilator which is a form of negative pressure ventilator.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
to assess for non-inferiority of Biphasic cuirass ventilator compared to Non invasive ventilator in high risk extubations.
Primary outcome will try to assess for non-inferiority of Biphasic cuirass ventilator compared to Non invasive ventilator in high risk extubations - In other words we are comparing and calculating the rate of re-intubations in these patients in the two arms viz. Standard of care Non Invasive Positive Pressure ventilation vs intervention arm using the Biphasic Cuirass Ventilation.
