- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>The main outcome is the difference in change in lung respiratory muscle effort<br /><br>(mean ΔPES) at 24 hours post-extubation between the study groups. </p><br>
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>Secondary parameters are differences in changes in respiratory effort at 2 and<br /><br>4 hours post-extubation, difference in change in lung aeration (mean ΔEELI),<br /><br>differences in tidal volume, Lung Ultrasound (LUS) score, dyspnea score, and<br /><br>respiratory and sputum parameters between patients undergoing different<br /><br>post-extubation oxygenation regimens.</p><br>
