Prediction of extubation failure in intensive care unit: systematic review of parameters investigated.

CONCLUSIONS: This review shows that all parameters used to predict EF have a low PPV. Therefore, the limitation of use of such predictive tests may prolong unnecessary the intubation and increase the unfavorable outcome. A prospective study involving all variables could be useful to predict the EF in ICU. PMID: 29991220 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
