Physiological Effects of High-Flow Tracheal Oxygen vs. Pressure Support Ventilation in Neurosurgical Patients with Brain Tumors Facing Delayed Extubation: A Pilot Study.
BACKGROUND Postoperative neurosurgical patients who successfully pass a spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) may still require delayed extubation due to impaired airway protection. Continued mechanical ventilation may contribute to diaphragm underuse. High-flow tracheal oxygen (HFTO) offers an alternative-discontinuing po...
