About this trial

Up to 20% of MV patients experience EF \[10\]. EF is defined as the need to reinsert the endotracheal tube to resume MV in patients extubated for less than 48 hours. It has high rates of morbidity and mortality, prolongs the duration of MV and thus causes a longer stay in the PICU and risk of complications such as the need for tracheostomy, the incidence of pneumonia and pulmonary damage, and finally, costs increase as well and death \[10, 11\] .

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

All patient at PICU < 18 years subjected to MV through an endotracheal tube at least >12 hours.

Patients eligible for weaning from MV according to the weaning criteria (Evidence for some reversal of the underlying cause following for respiratory failure, Adequate oxygenation" PaO2/FIO2 ratio ≥ 200, FIO2 ≤ 0.40, PaO2 ≥ 60, PaCO2 ≤ 60 and PEEP ≤ 5 cmH2O.", PH ≥ 7.25, Respiratory rate (RR) ≤ 45 bpm, Heart rate (HR) ≤ 140 bpm,(rapid shallow breathing index = tidal volume / RR) RSBI ≤ 8 breaths/min/ml/kg body weight, Hemodynamic stable, no or minimal vasopressor or inotropes"[1,12],.

Appropriate level of consciousness, No continuous sedation infusion nor neuromuscular blocking agents, afebrile, adequate hemoglobin ≥ 7.5 g/dl and/or no evidence of hemorrhage.
