Exclusion Criteria

- Any clinical situation preventing appropriate execution of study procedures,
such as;

- Obstructive/central Sleep Apnoea Syndrome or Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome
in medical history
- Contra-indication for nasogastric tube or inability to perform adequate PES
measurements, e.g.:
o Recent esophageal surgery
o Prior esophagectomy
o Known presence of esophageal varices
o Severe bleeding disorders
- Known diaphragm paralysis defined as elevated hemi-diaphragm on X-ray or
evidence of paralysis during ultrasound (i.e. paradoxal diaphragm movement
during sniffing)
- Known pregnancy or current breast-feeding

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>The main outcome is the difference in change in lung respiratory muscle effort<br /><br>(mean &Delta;PES) at 24 hours post-extubation between the study groups. </p><br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<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 &Delta;EELI),<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>
