The use of Mechanical Insufflation Exsufflation to prevent extubation failure in adult intensive care (2024)
Thesis

Introduction
A failed attempt to remove artificial ventilatory support in intensive care is associated with increased length of stay, impaired quality of life and higher mortality. One cause of this failure, secretion retention, results from poor co... Read More about The use of Mechanical Insufflation Exsufflation to prevent extubation failure in adult intensive care.

Mechanical insufflation-exsufflation to promote extubation success in critically ill adults on intensive care: Protocol for a randomised controlled feasibility trial (2023)
Journal Article

Background: Extubation failure, defined as reintubation within 48h, is associated with increased intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay and higher mortality risk. One cause of extubation failure is secretion retention, resulting from an inability t...
