Direct Extubation Versus Extubation After a Spontaneous Breathing Trial in Patients at Low Risk of Extubation Failure
Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris
314 participants
Jul 15, 2026
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
This randomized controlled open label trial aims at comparing a weaning strategy including a spontaneous breathing trial as a prerequisite for extubation to a weaning strategy without a spontaneous breathing trial (direct extubation) in patients with readiness to be weaned criteria and considered at low risk of extubation failure. The main endpoint will be the proportion of patients successfully extubated within the 24 hours after randomization as compared to extubation after a successful spontaneous breathing trial (SBT).
