A Randomized Clinical Trial for Predictors of Successful Extubation of Pediatric Patients With or Without High Velocity Nasal Insufflation

March 23, 2026 updated by: Sherin Tarek Fayez Ali, Cairo University

Predictors of Successful Extubation of Pediatric Patients From Mechanical Ventilation With or Without Post Extubation High Velocity Nasal Insufflation

A randomized clinical trial about predictors of successful extubation of pediatric patients from mechanical ventilation either on High Velocity Nasal Insufflation or simple nasal oxygen and comparing the outcome

Study Overview

Detailed Description

A randomized clinical study is comparing between extubation on High Velocity Nasal Insufflation or simple nasal Oxygen ensuring that all patients had successful weaning predictors before extubation and comparing the outcome whether patient needed upgrading of oxygen support or re-intubation within 48 hours, presence of respiratory distress or stridor post extubation, time of complete weaning of oxygen support to room air and also morbidity and mortality.
