Cough Peak Flow for Extubation Prediction (CPF)

July 25, 2016 updated by: Hospices Civils de Lyon

Assessing Cough Peak Flow (CPF) Using Ventilator built-in Flow-meter to Predict Extubation Success: A Single Centre Study

Successful weaning from mechanical ventilation in ICU patients depends on patient ability to breathe spontaneously and on cough efficiency. Previous studies found that cough peak flow (CPF) at 60 L/min threshold predicted extubation failure. These studies measured CPF using a dedicated flow-meter that required patient disconnection from the ventilator, limiting the generalizability of this procedure. This study aimed to predict extubation outcome in a consecutive series of patients by measuring CPF from the ventilator flow-meter. CPF measurements were done by freezing ventilator screen and scrolling the cursor to the maximal value of CPF during expiration and Tidal Volume (TV) in preceding inspiration.

The objective was to assess the performance of CPF to predict early extubation outcome.
