Evaluation of Risk Factors Regarding Extubation Failure in Severe Brain Injured Patients.

September 12, 2016 updated by: Nantes University Hospital

Observational Evaluation of Risk Factors Regarding Extubation Failure in Severe Brain-injured Patients

Severe brain-injured patients require prolonged mechanical ventilation. Weaning these patients from mechanical ventilation is challenging. During neurologic recovery, brain injured patients usually present satisfactory respiratory autonomy. However, the exact timing of extubation is unknown and is frequently delayed because of potential inhalation.

To date, there are no clinical signs available in the current literature that can help the attending physician in the decision-making process of extubation in brain-injured-patients

Cohorts and Interventions

ICU PATIENTS
Patients with brain-injury
A code will be applied to each patient included. Medical data such as demography, ISS, clinical exam at time of extubation, extubation failure, tracheotomy, will be collected during ICU stay.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Extubation failure
Time Frame: In the 48 hours following extubation
Extubation failure is regarded as the need of intubation in the 48 hours following extubation Establish clinial signs before extubation that can predict extubation failure Realization of a systematic clinical examination by the attending physician before performing extubation in severe brain-injured patients
In the 48 hours following extubation

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Impact of extubation failure
Time Frame: Median 14 days after Intensive Care Unit (ICU) admission

Impact of extubation failure on

  • Duration of mechanical ventilation
  • Length of ICU stay
  • Mortality Describing reasons
Median 14 days after Intensive Care Unit (ICU) admission
