Abstract
BACKGROUND Prolonged tracheal tube placement following severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) can cause serious complications. Safe removal requires sufficient ability for independent breathing and airway protection. Thus, identifying important factors for time to removal of the tracheal tube (decannulation) is essential for safe and efficient weaning. This study aimed to identify significant factors for time to decannulation in a Danish population of subjects with tracheostomy after TBI. METHODS This was a retrospective register-based cohort study. Subjects with moderate and severe TBI and a tracheal tube were selected from the Danish Head Trauma Database between 2011-2021. Time to decannulation was calculated as time from injury to decannulation. Associations between selected explanatory variables representing demographic and clinical characteristics and time to decannulation were analyzed using linear regression models. RESULTS A total 324 subjects were included with a median of 44 d to decannulation. Primary analysis found that an improvement in swallowing ability during the initial 4 weeks of rehabilitation was associated with an 8.2 d reduction in time to decannulation (95% CI -12.3 to -4.2, P < .001). Change in overall sensorimotor ability reduced time to decannulation by 0.94 (95% CI -0.78 to -0.10, P = .03) d. Change in cognitive abilities from rehab admission to 4-week follow-up did not significantly affect the number of days to decannulation (P = .66). Secondary analysis showed pneumonia was associated with the largest estimated increase of 24.4 (95% CI 15.9-32.9, P < .001) d and that increased cognitive functioning at rehabilitation admission was associated with a significant reduction in time to decannulation. CONCLUSIONS This study found that a change in swallowing ability is a potentially significant factor for reducing time to decannulation. Identifying factors that could explain differences in time to decannulation is essential for patient outcomes, especially if these factors are modifiable and could be targeted in rehabilitation and treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Optimal intensive care of patients undergoing valve surgery is a complex balancing act between sedation for monitoring and timely postoperative awakening. It remains unclear, if these requirements can be fulfilled by volatile sedations in intensive care medicine in an efficient manner. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the time to extubation and secondary the workload required. METHODS We conducted a prospective randomized single-center trial at a tertiary university hospital to evaluate the postoperative management of open valve surgery patients. The study was randomized with regard to the use of volatile sedation compared to propofol sedation. Sedation was discontinued 60 min after admission for critical postoperative monitoring. RESULTS We observed a significantly earlier extubation (91 ± 39 min vs. 167 ± 77 min; p < 0.001), eye-opening (86 ± 28 min vs. 151 ± 71 min; p < 0.001) and command compliance (93 ± 38 min vs. 164 ± 75 min; p < 0.001) using volatile sedation, which in turn was associated with a significantly increased workload of a median of 9:56 min (± 4:16 min) set-up time. We did not observe any differences in complications. Cardiopulmonary bypass time did not differ between the groups 101 (IQR 81; 113) versus 112 (IQR 79; 136) minutes p = 0.36. CONCLUSIONS Using volatile sedation is associated with few minutes additional workload in assembling and enables a significantly accelerated evaluation of vulnerable patient groups. Volatile sedation has considerable advantages and emerges as a safe sedation technique in our vulnerable study population. TRIAL REGISTRATION Clinical trials registration (NCT04958668) was completed on 1 July 2021.

Abstract
Increasing evidence supports specific approaches to liberate patients from invasive ventilation including the use of liberation protocols, inspiratory assistance during spontaneous breathing trials (SBTs), early extubation of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease to noninvasive ventilation, and prophylactic use of noninvasive support strategies after extubation. Additional research is needed to elucidate the best criteria to identify patients who are ready to undergo an SBT and to inform optimal screening frequency, the best SBT technique and duration, extubation assessments, and extubation decision-making. Additional clarity is also needed regarding the optimal timing to measure and report extubation success.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical correction of tracheobronchomalacia (TBM) has evolved greatly over the past decade, with select pediatric institutions establishing dedicated surgery and anesthesia teams to navigate the complexities and challenges of surgical airway repairs. Although anesthetic techniques have evolved internally over many years to improve patient safety and outcomes, many of these methods remain undescribed in literature. TECHNIQUE In this article, we describe the intraoperative negative pressure suction test. This simulates the negative pressure seen in awake and spontaneously breathing patients, including the higher pressures seen during coughing which induce airway collapse in patients with TBM. Also known as the Munoz maneuver in surgical literature, this test has been performed on over 300 patients since 2015. DISCUSSION The negative pressure suction test allows for controlled intraoperative assessment of surgical airway repairs, replaces the need for risky intraoperative wake-up tests, increases the chances of a successful surgical repair, and improves anesthetic management for emergence and extubation. We provide a guide on how to perform the test and videos demonstrating its efficacy in intraoperative airway evaluation. CONCLUSIONS As surgeries to repair TBM become more prevalent in other pediatric institutions, we believe that pediatric patients and anesthesia providers will benefit from the insights and methods described here.

Abstract
Oropharyngeal airways (OPA) or nasopharyngeal airways (NPA) sometimes require chin-lift or jaw-thrust (CLJT) maneuvers to relieve airway obstruction which creates the burden of continuous hands-on care by the anesthesia provider. A new distal pharyngeal airway device (DPA) was used on 63 successive ambulatory surgery patients to assess the frequency of patients requiring manual CLJT maneuvers to prevent airway obstruction. Results were then compared with a contemporaneous group of patients who had used OPA or NPA devices for similar procedures. Patients using the DPA had a 38.5% lower rate of CLJT maneuvers compared with the combined OPA/NPA groups (22.2% of 63 vs. 60.7% of 163, P ≤ .001). Moreover, the results for the DPA group were close to those of the natural airway group (22.2% of 62 vs. 24.8% of 233, P = .66) Results were similar for a sub-set of the above groups who required deep sedation or deep extubation. CLJT maneuvers were common in this ambulatory surgery setting. The new DPA device was associated with a reduced need for such manual maneuvers when compared with similar patients who received OPA or NPA devices and is comparable with the rate for natural airways.

Abstract
This narrative review summarizes research about prolonged times to tracheal extubation after general anesthesia with both intubation and extubation occurring in the operating room or other anesthetizing location where the anesthetic was performed. The literature search was current through May 2023 and included prolonged extubations defined either as >15 minutes or at least 15 minutes. The studies showed that prolonged times to extubation can be measured accurately, are associated with reintubations and respiratory treatments, are rated poorly by anesthesiologists, are treated with flumazenil and naloxone, are associated with impaired operating room workflow, are associated with longer operating room times, are associated with tardiness of starts of to-follow cases and surgeons, and are associated with longer duration workdays. When observing prolonged extubations among all patients receiving general anesthesia, covariates accounting for most prolonged extubations are characteristics of the surgery, positioning, and anesthesia provider's familiarity with the surgeon. Anesthetic drugs and delivery systems routinely achieve substantial differences in the incidences of prolonged extubations. Occasional claims made that anesthesia drugs have unimportant differences in recovery times, based on medians and means of extubation times, are misleading, because benefits of different anesthetics are achieved principally by reducing the variability in extubation times, specifically by decreasing the incidence of extubation times sufficiently long to have economic impact (ie, the prolonged extubations). Collectively, the results show that when investigators in anesthesia pharmacology quantify the rate of patient recovery from general anesthesia, the incidence of prolonged times to tracheal extubation should be included as a study end point.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early extubation (EEx) is defined as the removal of the endotracheal tube within 8 h postoperatively. The present study involved determining the availability and threshold of the vasoactive-inotropic score (VIS) for predicting EEx in adults after elective rheumatic heart valve surgery. METHODS The present study was designed as a single-center retrospective cohort study which was conducted with adults who underwent elective rheumatic heart valve surgery with CPB. The highest VIS in the immediate postoperative period was used in the present study. The primary outcome, the availability of VIS for EEx prediction and the optimal threshold value were determined using ROC curve analysis. The gray zone analysis of the VIS was performed by setting the false negative or positive rate R = 0.05, and the perioperative risk factors for prolonged EEx were identified by multivariate logistic analysis. The postoperative complications and outcomes were compared between different VIS groups. RESULTS Among the 409 patients initially screened, 379 patients were ultimately included in the study. The incidence of EEx was determined to be 112/379 (29.6%). The VIS had a good predictive value for EEx (AUC = 0.864, 95% CI: [0.828, 0.900], P < 0.001). The optimal VIS threshold for EEx prediction was 16.5, with a sensitivity of 71.54% (65.85-76.61%) and a specificity of 88.39% (81.15-93.09%). The upper and lower limits of the gray zone for the VIS were determined as (12, 17.2). The multivariate logistic analysis identified age (OR, 1.060; 95% CI: 1.017-1.106; P = 0.006), EF% (OR, 0.798; 95% CI: 0.742-0.859; P < 0.001), GFR (OR, 0.933; 95% CI: 0.906-0.961; P < 0.001), multiple valves surgery (OR, 4.587; 95% CI: 1.398-15.056; P = 0.012), and VIS > 16.5 (OR, 12.331; 95% CI: 5.015-30.318; P < 0.001) as the independent risk factors for the prolongation of EEx. The VIS ≤ 16.5 group presented a greater success rate for EEx, a shorter invasive ventilation support duration, and a lower incidence of complications than did the VIS > 16.5 group, while the incidence of reintubation was similar between the two groups. CONCLUSION In adults, after elective rheumatic heart valve surgery, the highest VIS in the immediate postoperative period was a good predictive value for EEx, with a threshold of 16.5.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate and compare the effects of the pectointercostal fascial plane block (PIFPB) and the erector spinae plane block (ESPB) on enhancing the recovery of patients who undergo cardiac surgery. DESIGN A randomized, controlled, double-blinded study. SETTING The operating rooms and intensive care units of university hospitals. PARTICIPANTS One hundred patients who were American Society of Anesthesiologists class II to III aged 18-to-70 years scheduled for elective cardiac surgery. INTERVENTIONS Patients were randomly assigned to undergo either ultrasound-guided bilateral PIFPB or ESPB. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Patients shared comparable baseline characteristics. Time to extubation, the primary outcome, did not demonstrate a statistically significant difference between the groups, with median (95% confidence interval) values of 115 (90-120) minutes and 110 (100-120) minutes, respectively (p = 0.875). The ESPB group had a statistically significant reduced pain score postoperatively. The median (IQR) values of postoperative fentanyl consumption were statistically significantly lower in the ESPB group than in the PIFPB group (p < 0.001): 4 (4-5) versus 9 (9-11) µg/kg, respectively. In the ESPB group, the first analgesia request was given 4 hours later than in the PIFPB group (p < 0.001). Additionally, 12 (24%) patients in the PIFPB group reported nonsternal wound chest pain, compared with none in the ESPB group. The median intensive care unit length of stay for both groups was 3 days (p = 0.428). CONCLUSIONS Erector spinae plane block and PIFPB were found to equally affect recovery after cardiac surgery, with comparable extubation times and intensive care unit length of stay.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevention of unplanned endotracheal extubation (UEE) is significant for the critical care of intensive care unit (ICU) patients. AIM To develop a questionnaire to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of the nurses regarding of the prevention of UEE in ICU patients with transoral endotracheal intubation (TEI) and to test the validity and reliability of the questionnaire. STUDY DESIGN Items relevant to KAP were prepared following a literature review, and then screened using a Delphi expert consultation, pre-test, and factor analysis. The nursing staffs in four tertiary hospitals in Qinghai, Jiangsu, Gansu, and Shandong provinces were surveyed to test the reliability and validity of the questionnaire. RESULTS The questionnaire contained 76 items, including 10, 37, and 29 in the dimensions of knowledge, attitude, and practice, respectively. The scale-level content validity index (S-CVI) of the questionnaire was 0.96. The results of exploratory factor analysis (EFA) showed that the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin value was 0.956, indicating that the sample was adequate and suitable for factor analysis. The result of the Bartlett spherical test was significant (p < .001), indicating that the questionnaire was suitable for further EFA. A total of six common factors were extracted by EFA with a cumulative variance interpretation rate of 85.52%, indicating that the questionnaire had good structural validity. The Cronbach's alpha was 0.981 for the whole questionnaire; and was 0.966, 0.996, and 0.981 for the dimensions of knowledge, attitude, and practice, respectively. The test-retest reliability for the questionnaire was 0.843. CONCLUSIONS The developed questionnaire has good reliability and validity and can be used as a scientific tool for the nursing leaders to prevent UEE in ICU patients with TEI. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE The instrument provides a theoretical reference for establishing preventive strategies and management programs in clinical practice.

Abstract
Tremendous advancements in neonatal respiratory care have contributed to the improved survival of extremely preterm infants (gestational age ≤ 28 weeks). While mechanical ventilation is often considered one of the most important breakthroughs in neonatology, it is also associated with numerous short and long-term complications. For those reasons, clinical research has focused on strategies to avoid or reduce exposure to mechanical ventilation. Nonetheless, in the extreme preterm population, 70-100% of infants born 22-28 weeks of gestation are exposed to mechanical ventilation, with nearly 50% being ventilated for ≥ 3 weeks. As contemporary practices have shifted towards selectively reserving mechanical ventilation for those patients, mechanical ventilation weaning and extubation remain a priority yet offer a heightened challenge for clinicians. In this review, we will summarize the evidence for different strategies to expedite weaning and assess extubation readiness in preterm infants, with a particular focus on extremely preterm infants.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the optimal postextubation respiratory support in pediatric cardiac surgery patients. DESIGN Systematic review of randomized controlled trials. SETTING Pediatric or neonatal intensive care units. PARTICIPANTS All aged children (<16 years) having cardiac surgery and postoperative invasive ventilation. INTERVENTION Noninvasive respiratory support, including high flow nasal cannula (HFNC), conventional oxygen therapy (COT), noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV), continuous positive pressure (CPAP), and noninvasive high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (NHFOV). MEASUREMENT AND MAIN RESULTS Studies were not pooled for statistical synthesis due to the limited number and quality of the included studies. Risk ratios with 95% confidence intervals were calculated for individual studies. A total of 167 studies were screened and six were included. The risk of bias was low in one, high in one, and had some concerns in four of the studies. Extubation failure (defined as reintubation) was the main outcome of interest. Risk ratio for reintubation was 0.10 (CI 0.02-0.40) and 1.07 (CI 0.16-7.26) in HFNC versus COT, 0.49 (CI 0.05-5.28) in HFNC versus NIPPV, 0.40 (CI 0.08-1.94) in HFNOV versus CPAP, 0.75 (CI 0.26-2.18) in HFNOV versus NIPPV, and 1.37 (CI 0.33-5.73) in CPAP versus NIPPV. Treatment durations did not differ between the groups. CONCLUSION We did not find clear evidence of a difference in reintubation rates and other clinical outcomes between different noninvasive ventilation strategies. Evidence certainty was assessed to be very low due to the risk of bias, the small number of included studies, and high imprecision. Future quality studies are needed to determine the optimal postextubation support in pediatric cardiac surgery patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Terminal extubation (TE) and terminal weaning (TW) during withdrawal of life-sustaining therapies (WLSTs) have been described and defined in adults. The recent Death One Hour After Terminal Extubation study aimed to validate a model developed to predict whether a child would die within 1 hour after discontinuation of mechanical ventilation for WLST. Although TW has not been described in children, pre-extubation weaning has been known to occur before WLST, though to what extent is unknown. In this preplanned secondary analysis, we aim to describe/define TE and pre-extubation weaning (PW) in children and compare characteristics of patients who had ventilatory support decreased before WLST with those who did not. DESIGN Secondary analysis of multicenter retrospective cohort study. SETTING Ten PICUs in the United States between 2009 and 2021. PATIENTS Nine hundred thirteen patients 0-21 years old who died after WLST. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS 71.4% ( n = 652) had TE without decrease in ventilatory support in the 6 hours prior. TE without decrease in ventilatory support in the 6 hours prior = 71.4% ( n = 652) of our sample. Clinically relevant decrease in ventilatory support before WLST = 11% ( n = 100), and 17.6% ( n = 161) had likely incidental decrease in ventilatory support before WLST. Relevant ventilator parameters decreased were F io2 and/or ventilator set rates. There were no significant differences in any of the other evaluated patient characteristics between groups (weight, body mass index, unit type, primary diagnostic category, presence of coma, time to death after WLST, analgosedative requirements, postextubation respiratory support modality). CONCLUSIONS Decreasing ventilatory support before WLST with extubation in children does occur. This practice was not associated with significant differences in palliative analgosedation doses or time to death after extubation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Unintended extubation (UE) is a serious risk associated with endotracheal intubation. In the paediatric population, UE can lead to significant patient harm. On average, each UE increases ICU and hospital length of stay by 5.5 and 6.5 days respectively and costs an additional $36 000. The international benchmark rate of UE for quality analysis cited in the literature is <1 per 100 ventilator days. The United States organization Solutions for Patient Safety (SPS) developed and introduced a bundle to reduce UE with a goal of ≤0.95 per 100 ventilator days. AIM The aim of this quality improvement project was to determine the baseline rate of UE in a 20-bed mixed medical/surgical PICU in the Pacific Northwest of the United States, implement the SPS bundle for UE prevention, and assess adherence to the bundle, and subsequent rate of UE. STUDY DESIGN The IHI Model for Improvement Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) was used to guide the development, implementation, and assessment of the SPS UE Bundle standardizing the management of endotracheal tubes. Adherence to the bundle was measured through peer-to-peer audits. Rates of adherence and UE were monitored on line charts. RESULTS Baseline rate of UE was 1.83 per 100 ventilator days; 23 weeks post implementation of the bundle the rate of UE was reduced to 0.38 UE per 100 ventilator days, F(7, 9) = 4.685, p = 0.027. The mean bundle adherence was 92%. CONCLUSIONS This quality improvement initiative confirms that high adherence to the SPS UE Bundle may significantly reduce rates of UE in PICU settings. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE Use of the SPS evidence-based discrete UE bundle and high adherence to the bundle can standardize practise and may reduce unintended extubation in the paediatric population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Respiratory responses to extubation can cause serious postoperative complications. Beta-blockers, such as metoprolol, can interfere with the cough pathway. However, whether metoprolol can effectively control respiratory reflexes during extubation remains unclear. The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of intravenous metoprolol in attenuating respiratory responses to tracheal extubation. METHODS Randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial. SETTING Tertiary referral center located in Brasília, Brazil. Recruitment: June 2021 to December 2021. SAMPLE 222 patients of both sexes with an American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status I-III aged 18-80 years. Patients were randomly assigned to receive intravenous metoprolol 5 mg IV or placebo at the end of surgery. The primary outcome was the proportion of patients who developed bucking secondary to endotracheal tube stimulation of the tracheal mucosa during extubation. Secondary outcomes included coughing, bronchospasm, laryngospasm, Mean Blood Pressure (MAP), and Heart Rate (HR) levels. RESULTS Two hundred and seven participants were included in the final analysis: 102 in the metoprolol group and 105 in the placebo group. Patients who received metoprolol had a significantly lower risk of bucking (43.1% vs. 64.8%, Relative Risk [RR = 0.66], 95% Confidence Interval [95% CI 0.51-0.87], p = 0.003). In the metoprolol group, 6 (5.9%) patients had moderate/severe coughing compared with 33 (31.4%) in the placebo group (RR = 0.19; 95% CI 0.08-0.43, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Metoprolol reduced the risk of bucking at extubation in patients undergoing general anesthesia compared to placebo.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Few data are available regarding early extubation after mitral valve surgery. We sought to assess the impact of an enhanced recovery after surgery-based protocol-ultra-fast-track protocol-in patients undergoing minimally invasive transaxillary mitral valve surgery. METHODS Data of patients who underwent transaxillary mitral valve surgery associated with ultra-fast-track protocol between 2018 and 2023 were reviewed. We compared preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative data of patients who had fast-track extubation (≤6 h since the end of the procedure) and non-fast-track extubation (>6 h) and, within the fast-track group, patients who underwent on-table extubation and patients who were extubated in intensive care unit within 6 h. Multivariable logistic regression was used to study the association of extubation timing and intensive care unit stay, postoperative stay and discharge home. RESULTS Three hundred fifty-six patients were included in the study. Two hundred eighty-two patients underwent fast-track extubation (79%) and 160 were extubated on table (45%). We found no difference in terms of mortality and occurrence of major complications (overall mortality and cerebral stroke 0.3%) according to the extubation timing. Fast-track extubation was associated with shorter intensive care unit stay, discharge home and discharge home within postoperative day 7 when compared to non-fast-track extubation. Within the fast-track group, on-table extubation was associated with intensive care unit stay ≤1 day and discharge home within postoperative day 7. CONCLUSIONS Fast-track extubation was achievable in most of the patients undergoing transaxillary minimally invasive mitral valve surgery and was associated with higher rates of day 1 intensive care unit discharge and discharge home. On-table extubation was associated with further reduced intensive care unit stay and hospitalization.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Static lung compliance, which is seriously affected during surgery, can lead to respiratory failure and extubation failure, which is little explored in the decision to extubate after cardiac surgery. OBJECTIVE To evaluate static lung compliance in the postoperative period of cardiac surgery and relate its possible reduction to cases of extubation failure in patients submitted to the fast-track method of extubation. METHODS Patients undergoing cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) at a state university hospital admitted to the ICU under sedation and residual block were included. Their static lung compliance was assessed on the mechanical ventilator using software that uses least squares fitting (LSF) for measurement. Within 48 hours of extubation, the patients were observed for the need for reintubation due to respiratory failure. The level of significance adopted for the statistical tests was 5%, i.e., p<0.05. RESULTS 77 patients (75.49%) achieved successful extubation and 25 (24.51%) failed extubation. Patients who failed extubation had lower static lung compliance compared to those who succeeded (p<0.001). We identified the cut-off point for compliance through analysis of the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (ROC), with the cut-off point being compliance <41ml/cmH2O associated with a higher probability of extubation failure (p<0.001). In the multiple regression analysis, the influence of lung compliance (divided by the ROC curve cut-off point) was found to be 9.1 times greater for patients with compliance <41ml/cmH2O (p< 0.003). CONCLUSIONS Static lung compliance <41ml/cmH2O is a factor that compromises the success of extubation in the postoperative period of cardiac surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To systematically review: 1) peri-extubation settings; and 2) association between peri-extubation settings and outcomes in preterm neonates. STUDY DESIGN In this systematic review, studies were eligible if they reported patient-data on peri-extubation settings (objective 1) and/or evaluated peri-extubation levels in relation to clinical outcomes (objective 2). Data were meta-analyzed when appropriate using random-effects model. RESULTS Of 9681 titles, 376 full-texts were reviewed and 101 included. The pooled means of peri-extubation settings were summarized. For objective 2, three experimental studies were identified comparing post-extubation CPAP levels. Meta-analyses revealed lower odds for treatment failure [pooled OR 0.46 (95% CI 0.27-0.76); 3 studies, 255 participants] but not for re-intubation [pooled OR 0.66 (0.22-1.97); 3 studies, 255 participants] with higher vs. lower CPAP. CONCLUSIONS Summary of peri-extubation settings may guide clinicians in their own practices. Higher CPAP levels may reduce extubation failure, but more data on peri-extubation settings that optimize outcomes are needed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This meta-analysis aimed to assess the predictive value of the rapid shallow breathing index for extubation outcomes. METHODOLOGY We conducted a systematic review of literature (inception to March 2023) and a meta-analysis. Statistical analysis was performed using Meta-Disc 1.4 software, RevMan 5.4 software and Stata 14.0 software to evaluate the predictive value of RSBI for extubation outcomes. RESULTS A total of 1,987 studies were retrieved, and after applying the inclusion criteria, 79 studies were included in the final analysis, involving 13,170 patients undergoing mechanical ventilation. The random-effects model was employed for statistical analysis. The summary receiver operating characteristic curves (SROC) area under the curve (AUC) was 0.8144. The pooled sensitivity was 0.60 (95% CI: 0.59, 0.61), the pooled specificity was 0.68 (95% CI: 0.66, 0.70). CONCLUSIONS The Rapid Shallow Breathing Index demonstrated moderate accuracy, poor pooled sensitivity and specificity in predicting successful extubation, however the study does not present adequate data to support or reject the use of this tool as a single parameter that predicts extubation outcome. Future studies should explore the combination of The Rapid Shallow Breathing Index with other indicators and clinical experience to improve the success rate of extubation and reduce the risk of extubation failure. IMPLICATIONS FOR CLINICAL PRACTICE Premature and delayed extubation in mechanically ventilated patients can have a negative impact on prognosis and prolong hospital stay. The Rapid Shallow Breathing Index is a simple, cost-effective, and easily monitored objective evaluation index, which can be used to predict the outcome of extubation, especially in primary hospitals. Our study comprehensively evaluated the value of this tool in predicting extubation outcomes, which can help clinicians combine subjective experience with objective indicators to improve the accuracy of extubation time decisions.

Abstract
AIMS This study aims to describe our refined technique of submental intubation to avoid the recorded intraoperative complications related to tube passage and pilot balloon rupture. CASE SERIES This is a retrospective case series of 21 patients with complex maxillofacial trauma who underwent submental intubation from January 2019 to January 2023. All the patients underwent to the same procedure with a new technique of pilot balloon protection: the pilot balloon was not deflated because, once the connector was removed, only the tube was curved and passed through the incision extraorally while the cuff remained inflated. The wire of the pilot balloon was passed behind the last tooth so as not to interfere with the maxillary-mandibular fixation, remaining extraorally under the anesthetist's view. DISCUSSION Only 2 patients (9.5%) reported complications related to submental intubation: in particular a patient (4.8%) reported oral floor infection, and in another patient (4.8%) an unesthetic skin scar was observed. No patients reported intraoperative complications related to the procedure. CONCLUSION The technique of pilot balloon protection that we have proposed seems to be effective in reducing the intraoperative complications related to the passage of the pilot balloon, such as rupture, damage or early extubation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Following the opening of an infant cardiac neonatal intensive care unit, our aim was to determine a baseline UE rate and implement initiatives to target a goal less than 0.5 UEs/100 ventilator days. METHODS We utilized the Model for Improvement. Key stakeholders included neonatal providers, nurses, and respiratory therapists. We focused on the creation of an airway bundle that addressed securement methods, communication and education. RESULTS From October 2017 to January 2018, our baseline UE rate was 0.92 UEs/100 ventilator days. Subsequent to the implementation of an airway bundle with high compliance, we observed a significant change in the centerline (0.45 to 0.02 UEs/100 ventilator days) during the spring of 2021, followed by a period of 480 days with no UEs. CONCLUSION In a unit where UEs were infrequent events, high compliance with an airway bundle led to a significantly sustained decrease in our UE rates.

Abstract
PURPOSE This aim of this study was to compare two anesthetic regimens in terms of extubation time and postoperative recovery in children undergoing ambulatory adenoidectomy. DESIGN A retrospective cohort study with propensity score matching. METHODS The medical charts of 452 children aged between 3 and 8 years undergoing ambulatory adenoidectomy were retrieved for analysis, of which 438 were eligible to participate in this study. A majority (n = 327) were children exposed to a conventional propofol-pronounced general anesthetic regimen (high-dose propofol plus low-dose remifentanil, labeled as group P), while n = 111 were administered a modified remifentanil-pronounced anesthetic regimen (low-dose propofol plus high-dose remifentanil, namely group R). Propensity score matching was employed to adjust for confounders, resulting in 69 matched patients in each group. The primary endpoint of this study was extubation time. The secondary endpoints were total intraoperative fluid volume, length of stay in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU), postoperative pain rating, the incidence of emergence agitation, nausea and vomiting, as well as the level of consciousness (fully awake or waking by gentle patting) when transferred out of PACU, and any major complications (wound bleeding, reintubation, readmission, and overnight stay). FINDINGS No major complications were observed in both groups. Compared to group P, group R had significantly shorter extubation time (8.2 ± 1.4 minutes vs 13.3 ± 2.4 minutes, P < .001), shorter length of stay in the PACU (14.1 ± 3.1 minutes vs 20.2 ± 3.4 minutes, P < .001), and a higher proportion of cases being fully awake when transferred out of the PACU (91% vs 46%, P < .001). Lastly, the pain rating, frequency of oropharyngeal airway usage, incidence of emergence agitation, and nausea and vomiting were comparable between the two groups (P > .05 for all). CONCLUSIONS Remifentanil-pronounced anesthesia was superior to propofol-pronounced anesthesia in children undergoing ambulatory adenoidectomy, given that the former was associated with a faster recovery time from anesthesia without jeopardizing patient safety.

Abstract
PURPOSE Immediate extubation (IE) following liver transplantation (LT) is increasingly common in adult patients. This study reviews our center's experience with IE in children following LT to determine characteristics predictive of successful IE and its effects on post-operative outcomes. METHODS We performed a retrospective chart review of all patients who underwent LT at our institution between January 2005 and November 2022. Patients with concomitant lung transplants and chronic ventilator requirements were excluded. RESULTS Overall, 235 patients met study criteria. IE was achieved in 164 (69.8%) patients across all diagnoses and graft types. Of IE patients, only two required re-intubation within 3 days post-transplant. IE patients exhibited significantly shorter ICU (2 [1, 3 IQR] vs. 4 [2, 4 IQR] days, p < .001) and hospital lengths of stay (17 [12, 24 IQR] vs. 22 [14, 42 IQR] days, p = .001). Pre-transplant ICU requirement, high PELD/MELD score, intraoperative transfusion, cold ischemia time, and pressor requirements were risk factors against IE. There was no association between IE and recipient age or weight. The proportion of patients undergoing IE post-transplant increased significantly over time from 2005 to 2022 (p < .001), underscoring the role of clinical experience and transplant team learning curve. CONCLUSION Spanning 18 years and 235 patients, we report the largest cohort of children undergoing IE following LT. Our findings support that IE is safe across ages and clinical scenarios. As our center gained experience, the rate of IE increased from 40% to 83%. These trends were associated with lower ICU and LOS, the benefits of which include earlier patient mobility and improved resource utilization.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to determine the best strategy to achieve fast and safe extubation. METHODS This multicenter trial randomized patients with primary respiratory failure and low-to-intermediate risk for extubation failure with planned high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) preventive therapy. It included four groups: (1) conservative screening with ratio of partial pressure of arterial oxygen (PaO2) to fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) ≥ 150 and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) ≤ 8 cmH2O plus conservative spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) with pressure support 5 cmH2O + PEEP 0 cmH2O); (2) screening with ratio of partial pressure of arterial oxygen (PaO2) to fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) ≥ 150 and PEEP ≤ 8 plus aggressive SBT with pressure support 8 + PEEP 5; (3) aggressive screening with PaO2/FiO2 > 180 and PEEP 10 maintained until the SBT with pressure support 8 + PEEP 5; (4) screening with PaO2/FiO2 > 180 and PEEP 10 maintained until the SBT with pressure support 5 + PEEP 0. Primary outcomes were time-to-extubation and simple weaning rate. Secondary outcomes included reintubation within 7 days after extubation. RESULTS Randomization to the aggressive-aggressive group was discontinued at the interim analysis for safety reasons. Thus, 884 patients who underwent at least 1 SBT were analyzed (conservative-conservative group, n = 256; conservative-aggressive group, n = 267; aggressive-conservative group, n = 261; aggressive-aggressive, n = 100). Median time to extubation was lower in the groups with aggressive screening (p < 0.001). Simple weaning rates were 45.7%, 76.78% (205 patients), 71.65%, and 91% (p < 0.001), respectively. Reintubation rates did not differ significantly (p = 0.431). CONCLUSION Among patients at low or intermediate risk for extubation failure with planned HFNC, combining aggressive screening with preventive PEEP and a conservative SBT reduced the time to extubation without increasing the reintubation rate.

Abstract
The main clinical research advances of critical care in 2023 includes: new trials of Chinese herbal medicine, hydroxocobalamin (vitamin B12), methylene blue as well glucocorticoids have shown the potential to improve outcomes of patients with sepsis and septic shock; international committees launched new global definition and managing recommendations for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Besides, a cluster of new evidences has emerged in many aspects as following: fluid control strategy in sepsis (restrictive/liberative), antibiotic infusion strategy (continuous/intermittent), oxygen-saturation targets for mechanical ventilation (conservative/liberative), blood pressure targets after resuscitation from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (hypotension/hypertension), blood pressure targets after successful stroke thrombectomy (intensive/conventional), and nutritional support strategies (low protein-calories/conventional protein-calories, fasting/persistent feeding before extubation). Thus, given above progress, carrying out high -quality domestic multi-center clinical registration researches, constructing shareable standardized databases, as well raising public awareness of sepsis, should be the essential steps to improve our level of intensive care medicine.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify variables associated with extubation success in extremely preterm neonates extubated from invasive volume-targeted ventilation. STUDY DESIGN We retrospectively evaluated 84 neonates ≤28 weeks' gestational age, on their first elective extubation. The primary outcome of successful extubation was defined as non-reintubation within seven days. We used multivariate logistic regression analysis. RESULTS We identified 58 (69%) neonates (mean gestational age of 26.5 ± 1.4 weeks, birthweight 921 ± 217 g) who met the primary outcome. Female sex (OR 1.15, 95% CI 1.01-9.10), higher pre-extubation weight (OR 1.29, 95% CI 1.05-1.59), and pH (OR 2.54, 95% CI 1.54-4.19), and lower pre-extubation mean airway pressure (MAP) (OR 0.49, 95% CI 0.33-0.73) were associated with successful extubation. CONCLUSIONS In preterm neonates, female sex, higher pre-extubation weight and pH, and lower pre-extubation MAP were predictors of successful extubation from volume-targeted ventilation. Evaluation of these variables will likely assist clinicians in selecting the optimal time for extubation in such vulnerable neonates.

Abstract
Delirium is common in the emergency department, and once it develops, there is a risk of self-extubation of drains and tubes, so it is critical to predict delirium before it occurs. Machine learning was used to create two prediction models in this study: one for predicting the occurrence of delirium and one for predicting self-extubation after delirium. Each model showed high discriminative performance, indicating the possibility of selecting high-risk cases. Visualization of predictors using Shapley additive explanation (SHAP), a machine learning interpretability method, showed that the predictors of delirium were different from those of self-extubation after delirium. Data-driven decisions, rather than empirical decisions, on whether or not to use physical restraints or other actions that cause patient suffering will result in improved value in medical care.

Abstract
Background Measuring depth of anesthesia during intracerebral surgery is an important task to guarantee patient safety, especially while the patient is fixated in a Mayfield-clamp. Processed electro-encephalography measurements have been established to monitor deep sedation. However, visualizing nociception has not been possible until recently and has not been evaluated for the neurosurgical setting. In this single-center, retrospective observational analysis, we routinely collected the nociceptive data via a nociception level monitor (NOL®) of 40 patients undergoing intracerebral tumor resection and aimed to determine if this monitoring technique is feasible and delivers relevant values to potentially base therapeutic decisions on. Methods Forty patients (age 56 ± 18 years) received total intravenous anesthesia and were non-invasively connected to the NOL® via a finger clip as well as a bispectral-index monitoring (BIS®) to confirm deep sedation. The measured nociception levels were retrospectively evaluated at specific time points of nociceptive stress (intubation, Mayfield-positioning, incision, extubation) and compared to standard vital signs. Results Nociceptive measurements were successfully performed in 35 patients. The largest increase in nociceptive stimulation occurred during intubation (NOL® 40 ± 16) followed by Mayfield positioning (NOL® 39 ± 16) and incision (NOL® 26 ± 12). Correlation with BIS measurements confirmed a sufficiently deep sedation during all analyzed time points (BIS 45 ± 13). Overall, patients showed an intraoperative NOL® score of 10 or less in 56% of total intervention time. Conclusions Nociceptive monitoring using the NOL® system during intracerebral surgery is feasible and might yield helpful information to support therapeutic decisions. This could help to reduce hyperanalgesia, facilitating shorter emergence periods and less postoperative complications. Prospective clinical studies are needed to further examine the potential benefits of this monitoring approach in a neurosurgical context.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Standard high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) is a respiratory support device widely used to manage post-extubation hypoxemic acute respiratory failure (hARF) due to greater comfort, oxygenation, alveolar recruitment, humidification, and reduction of dead space, as compared to conventional oxygen therapy. On the contrary, the effects of the new asymmetrical HFNC interface (Optiflow® Duet system (Fisher & Paykel, Healthcare, Auckland, New Zealand) is still under discussion. Our aim is investigating whether the use of asymmetrical HFNC interface presents any relevant difference, compared with the standard configuration, on lung aeration (as assessed by end-expiratory lung impedance (EELI) measured by electrical impedance tomography (EIT)), diaphragm ultrasound thickening fraction (TFdi) and excursion (DE), ventilatory efficiency (estimated by corrected minute ventilation (MV)), gas exchange, dyspnea, and comfort. METHODS Pilot physiological crossover randomized controlled study enrolling 20 adults admitted to the Intensive Care unit, invasively ventilated for at least 24 h, and developing post-extubation hARF, i.e., PaO2/set FiO2 < 300 mmHg during Venturi mask (VM) within 120 min after extubation. Each HFNC configuration was applied in a randomized 60 min sequence at a flow rate of 60 L/min. RESULTS Global EELI, TFdi, DE, ventilatory efficiency, gas exchange and dyspnea were not significantly different, while comfort was greater during asymmetrical HFNC support, as compared to standard interface (10 [7-10] and 8 [7-9], p-value 0.044). CONCLUSIONS In post-extubation hARF, the use of the asymmetrical HFNC, as compared to standard HFNC interface, slightly improved patient comfort without affecting lung aeration, diaphragm activity, ventilatory efficiency, dyspnea and gas exchange. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER ClinicalTrial.gov. REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT05838326 (01/05/2023). NEW & NOTEWORTHY The asymmetrical high-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy (Optiflow® Duet system (Fisher & Paykel, Healthcare, Auckland, New Zealand) provides greater comfort as compared to standard interface; while their performance in term of lung aeration, diaphragm activity, ventilatory efficiency, dyspnea, and gas exchange is similar.

Abstract
Objective The risk factors of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) have been extensively investigated in non-cardiac surgery and non-elderly adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery. However, data on elderly patients after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is limited. This study aimed to evaluate the risk factors and short-term outcomes for PPCs in elderly patients undergoing CPB procedures. Patients and Methods Data from 660 patients who underwent CPB over a six-year period at a tertiary care hospital were collected. The primary outcome encompassed the incidence of PPCs, including re-intubation, postoperative mechanical ventilation exceeding 48 hours, pulmonary infection, pleural effusion requiring thoracic drainage, and acute respiratory distress syndrome. Missing data were managed using multiple imputation. Univariate analysis and the multiple logistic regression method were utilized to ascertain independent risk factors for PPCs. Results Among the 660 patients, PPCs were observed in 375 individuals (56.82%). Multiple logistic regression identified serum albumin levels <40 g/L, type of surgery, CPB duration >150 minutes, blood transfusion, and intra-aortic balloon pump use before extubation as independent risk factors for PPCs. Patients experiencing PPCs had prolonged mechanical ventilation, extended hospitalization and ICU stays, elevated postoperative mortality, and higher tracheotomy rates compared to those without PPCs. Conclusion Elderly patients following CPB displayed a substantially high incidence of PPCs, significantly impacting their prognosis. Additionally, this study identified five prominent risk factors associated with PPCs in this population. These findings enable clinicians to better recognize patients who may benefit from perioperative prevention strategies based on these risk factors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare LISA with INSURE technique for surfactant administration in preterm with gestational age (GA) < 36 weeks with RDS in respect to the incidence of pneumothorax, bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), need for mechanical ventilation (MV), regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2), peri‑intraventricular hemorrhage (PIVH) and mortality. METHODS A systematic search in PubMed, Embase, Lilacs, CINAHL, SciELO databases, Brazilian Registry of Randomized Clinical Trials (ReBEC), Clinicaltrials.gov, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) was performed. RCTs evaluating the effects of the LISA technique versus INSURE in preterm infants with gestational age < 36 weeks and that had as outcomes evaluation of the rates of pneumothorax, BPD, need for MV, rSO2, PIVH, and mortality were included in the meta-analysis. Random effects and hazard ratio models were used to combine all study results. Inter-study heterogeneity was assessed using Cochrane Q statistics and Higgin's I2 statistics. RESULTS Sixteen RCTs published between 2012 and 2020 met the inclusion criteria, a total of 1,944 preterms. Eleven studies showed a shorter duration of MV and CPAP in the LISA group than in INSURE group. Two studies evaluated rSO2 and suggested that LISA and INSURE transiently affect brain autoregulation during surfactant administration. INSURE group had a higher risk for MV in the first 72 h of life, pneumothorax, PIVH and mortality in comparison to the LISA group. CONCLUSION This systematic review and meta-analyses provided evidence for the benefits of the LISA technique in the treatment of RDS, decreasing CPAP time, need for MV, BPD, pneumothorax, PIVH, and mortality when compared to INSURE.

Abstract
Apnea and poor respiratory drive increase the risk of extubation failure (EF) and prolonged invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) in preterm neonates (pre-nates) with respiratory distress. Caffeine citrate (CC) is often prescribed for pre-nates in doses of 5-10 mg/kg in 24 h. This study aimed to evaluate the most effective dosage regimen (5 mg/kg/day vs >5-10 mg/kg/day) to prevent apnea and EF with minimal caffeine-associated potential side effects (CC-APSEs) in pre-nates. This one-year retrospective cohort study included all the eligible neonates admitted to NICU and received CC-therapy till 28 days of life (DOL) or discharge. Based on CC-daily dose formed LD-caffeine-group (5 mg/kg/day) and HD-caffeine-group (>5-10 mg/kg/day). Antenatal, prenatal, and postnatal characteristics, CC-regimen, comorbidities, and CC-APSEs were compared between the groups. Predictors of apnea and EF were analyzed through logistic regression. There were 181 and 72 neonates in the LD and HD-caffeine-groups respectively. In HD-caffeine-group daily CC-dose was 7 to 7.5 mg/kg/day in 93% of neonates and >7.5 to 10 mg/kg/day in only 7%. Significantly fewer neonates experienced apnea and EF in the HD-caffeine-group till 28DOL or discharge. This difference was even greater in the subgroup of ≤28 weeks GA (15.6% vs 40.0%; P < .01). In HD-caffeine-group the incidence of severe/moderate-BPD was significantly lower and the frequency of CC-APSEs was higher. Multivariate analysis showed that; the smaller the GA higher the risk of apnea (AOR = 0.510, 95% CI 0.483-0.999) and EF (AOR = 0.787, 95% CI 0.411-0.997). The HD-caffeine was inversely associated with developing apnea (AOR = 0.244, 95% CI 0.053-0.291) and EF (AOR = 0.103, 95% CI 0.098-2.976). IMV-duration before extubation (AOR = 2.229, 95% CI 1.672-2.498) and severe/moderate-BPD (AOR = 2.410, 95%CI 1.104-2.952) had a high risk of EF. Initiating early HD-caffeine may prevent apnea and extubation failure in preterm neonates. Optimization of caffeine initiation time and dosages can be a safe and feasible approach to decrease the burden of neonatal respiratory morbidities.

Abstract
Remimazolam is a new ultrashort-acting benzodiazepine sedative, the use of which has not been reported for pediatric cardiac surgery. This case report describes the use of remimazolam in a 6-year-old girl who underwent minimally invasive cardiac surgery with right-sided thoracotomy for an atrial septal defect. Under electroencephalographic monitoring, remimazolam (2-4 mg kg-1 h-1) and remifentanil (0.05 μg kg-1 min-1) were administered with an intercostal nerve block during the procedure. The patient awoke and was extubated promptly after surgery, without any serious adverse events, including intraoperative awareness. Remimazolam may be a viable option for general anesthesia during pediatric cardiac surgery.

Abstract
Tracheostomy and delayed extubation (DE) are two methods for managing patients' airways postoperatively after oral and maxillofacial free flap transplantation. We aimed to determine the safety of both the tracheostomy and DE by conducting a retrospective study in patients undergoing oral and maxillofacial free-flap transfer from September, 2017 to September, 2022. The primary outcome was incidence of postoperative complication. Secondary outcome was measured as factors leading to perioperative performance of airway management. Ninety-five of 148 patients received delayed extubation perioperatively. In comparison to the tracheostomy group, the DE group had fewer overall postoperative complications (p = 0.028). During the postoperative period, fewer patients from the DE group required a return to the operating room, in comparison to those from the tracheostomy group (p = 0.045). The duration of surgery (p = 0.006), time in ICU (p = 0.015), duration of artificial nutrition (p < 0.001), duration of hospitalization (p < 0.001) in the DE group were all significantly shorter when compared with the tracheostomy group. In conclusion, when used in appropriate cases of oral and maxillofacial free flap transplantation patients, delayed extubation can be a safe and effective alternative to tracheostomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients in the neurointensive care unit (NICU) fail extubation despite successful weaning from mechanical ventilation. Parameters currently used in the general intensive care unit do not accurately predict extubation success in the NICU. In this study, peak cough expiratory flow rate, ultrasound-based diaphragm function assessment, and comprehensive clinical scoring systems were measured to determine whether these new variables, in isolation or combination, could predict extubation failure successfully in the NICU. METHODS All adult patients extubated after 48 h of mechanical ventilation in the NICU of a single tertiary care center were recruited into the prospective cohort. The patient's cough peak expiratory flow rate (C-PEFR), diaphragm function, and clinical scores were measured before extubation. C-PEFR was measured using a hand-held spirometer, diaphragm function (excursion, thickness fraction, and diaphragm contraction velocity on coughing) was assessed using ultrasound, and the clinical scores included the visual pursuit, swallowing, age, Glasgow Coma Scale for extubation (VISAGE) and respiratory insufficiency scale-intubated (RIS-i) scores. The patients requiring reintubation within 48 h were considered as extubation failure. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were done to identify predictors of extubation failure. RESULTS Of the 193 patients screened, 43 were recruited, and 15 had extubation failure (20.9%). Patients with extubation failure had higher RIS-i scores (p < 0.001) and lower VISAGE scores (p = 0.043). The C-PEFR and diaphragm function (excursions and contraction velocity on coughing) were lower in patients with extubation failure but not statistically significant. The variables with p < 0.2 in univariate analysis (RIS-i, VISAGE, and diaphragm cough velocity) were subjected to multivariate regression analysis. RIS-I score remained an independent predictor (odds ratio 3.691, 95% confidence interval 1.5-8.67, p = 0.004). In a receiver operating characteristic analysis, the area under the curve for RIS-i was 0.963. An RIS-i score of 2 or more had 94% specificity and 89% sensitivity for predicting extubation failure. CONCLUSIONS The RIS-i score predicts extubation failure in NICU patients. The addition of ultrasound-based diaphragm measurements to the RIS-i score to improve prediction accuracy needs further study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Extremely preterm infants often require invasive mechanical ventilation, and clinicians aim to extubate these infants as soon as possible. However, extubation failure occurs in up to 60% of extremely preterm infants and is associated with increased mortality and morbidity. Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) is the most common post-extubation respiratory support, but there is no consensus on the optimal nCPAP level to safely avoid extubation failure in extremely preterm infants. We aimed to determine if higher nCPAP levels compared with standard nCPAP levels would decrease rates of extubation failure in extremely preterm infants within 7 days of their first extubation. METHODS In this multicentre, randomised, open-label controlled trial done at three tertiary perinatal centres in Australia, we assigned extremely preterm infants to extubation to either higher nCPAP (10 cmH2O) or standard nCPAP (7 cmH2O). Infants were eligible if they were born at less than 28 weeks' gestation, were receiving mechanical ventilation via an endotracheal tube, and were being extubated for the first time to nCPAP. Eligible infants must have received previous treatment with exogenous surfactant and caffeine. Infants were ineligible if they were planned to be extubated to a mode of respiratory support other than nCPAP, if they had a known major congenital anomaly that might affect breathing, or if ongoing intensive care was not being provided. Parents or guardians provided prospective, written, informed consent. Infants were maintained within an assigned nCPAP range for a minimum of 24 h after extubation (higher nCPAP group 9-11 cmH2O and standard nCPAP group 6-8 cmH2O). Randomisation was stratified by both gestation (22-25 completed weeks or 26-27 completed weeks) and recruiting centre. The primary outcome was extubation failure within 7 days and analysis was by intention to treat. This trial was prospectively registered with the Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry, number ACTRN12618001638224. FINDINGS Between March 3, 2019, and July 31, 2022, 483 infants were born at less than 28 weeks and admitted to the recruiting centres. 92 infants were not eligible, 172 were not approached, 65 families declined to participate, and 15 consented but were not randomly assigned. 139 infants were enrolled and randomly assigned, 70 to the higher nCPAP group and 69 to the standard nCPAP group. One infant in the higher nCPAP group was excluded from the analysis because consent was withdrawn after randomisation. 104 (75%) of 138 mothers were White. The mean gestation was 25·7 weeks (SD 1·3) and the mean birthweight was 777 grams (201). 70 (51%) of 138 infants were female. Extubation failure occurred in 24 (35%) of 69 infants in the higher nCPAP group and in 39 (57%) of 69 infants in the standard nCPAP group (risk difference -21·7%, 95% CI -38·5% to -3·7%). There were no significant differences in rates of adverse events between groups during the primary outcome period. Three patients died (two in the higher nCPAP group and one in the standard nCPAP group), pneumothorax occurred in one patient from each group, spontaneous intestinal perforation in three patients (two in the higher nCPAP group and one in the standard nCPAP group) and there were no events of pulmonary interstitial emphysema. INTERPRETATION Extubation of extremely preterm infants to higher nCPAP significantly reduced extubation failure compared with extubation to standard nCPAP, without increasing rates of adverse effects. Future larger trials are essential to confirm these findings in terms of both efficacy and safety.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Superior laryngeal nerve block (SLNB) is a regional anesthesia technique for addressing airway response. However, SLNB on the efficacy of sedation in patients with delayed extubation is unknown, particularly for maxillofacial surgery (MS). The aim of the study was to assess whether ultrasound guided (UG) SLNB reduces the incidence of moderate to severe cough for delayed extubation in MS with free flap reconstruction. METHODS 60 patients were randomly assigned to the GEA group (control group) and the SLNB group (UG-SLNB postoperatively, study group). During the initial two postoperative hours, the incidence of moderate and severe cough, agitation, and the number of patients requiring rescue propofol and flurbiprofen were recorded. Additionally, the time spent under the target level of sedation, postoperative hemodynamics, and the total does of propofol during the postoperative 24 h were recorded. RESULTS The data showed the SLNB group had a significantly lower incidence of moderate to severe cough and agitation (p < 0.05), and a longer sedation time (p < 0.05). The number of patients required rescue propofol and flurbiprofen, as well as the hemodynamic changes, were significantly different between the two groups (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION The use of UG-SLNB is associated with reduced incidence of postoperative cough. Moreover, SLNB can enhance the efficacy of postoperative sedation with need of fewer agents postoperatively.

Abstract
PURPOSE Although the medical decision-making process can be overwhelming for some surrogates, there is a lack of understanding regarding their experiences. The objectives of this study were to examine the decision self-efficacy and decisional conflict experienced by surrogates in intensive care units (ICUs) when faced with the decision of whether to reintubate patients with respiratory failure after a planned extubation. In addition, predictors and mediators influencing these decision-making processes were identified. METHODS This study utilized a cross-sectional design to investigate the decision-making processes of 174 surrogates who were faced with the decision of whether to reintubate patients with respiratory failure after a planned extubation in the internal ICU of a medical center between August 2021 and February 2022. Structured questionnaires were administered to collect data on the surrogates' background information, decision self-efficacy, decisional conflict, and positive and negative affect. The patients' background information was also collected. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to model the data. RESULTS The mean decision self-efficacy score of the surrogates was 82.41 points, and 20.7% surrogates had decisional conflict scores exceeding 37.5 points, suggesting that they faced challenges in the decision-making process. Surrogates' employment status and negative affect significantly predicted their decision self-efficacy. In addition, patients' activities of daily living prior to hospitalization and the decision self-efficacy of the surrogate significantly predicted surrogate decisional conflict. The impact of surrogates' negative affect on decisional conflict was fully mediated by decision self-efficacy. CONCLUSIONS Surrogate decision self-efficacy mediates the relationship between negative affect and decisional conflict. Providing clinical care interventions that focus on enhancing surrogate self-efficacy and reducing negative affect can help alleviate decisional conflict in this population.
