Targeted-volume noninvasive ventilation reduces extubation failure in postextubated medical Intensive Care Unit patients: A randomized controlled trial

Conclusions: Our study is the first study to demonstrate the benefit of application of targeted-volume NIV immediately after extubation in reducing extubation failure rate. There was a trend toward lowering reintubation rate and shorter ICU length of stay and hospital length of stay after extubation in mixed medical ICU patients.
