Early identification of when patients can safely transition to spontaneous breathing aims to shorten ventilation duration. However, clinicians must balance this with the risk of reintubation, which occurs in about 10%...Read more

Mechanical ventilation is crucial for supporting critically ill patients, and a timely extubation strategy is essential for improved patient outcomes. Despite standard weaning procedures, a significant percentage of patients (3-20%) require reintubation. Post-extubation respiratory failure can cause respiratory fatigue, requiring additional mechanical...Read more
