Excerpt

We read with great interest the article by Thille et al. [1] and commend the authors on their work. It is accepted that noninvasive ventilation (NIV) used prophylactically reduces post-extubation respiratory failure, but its impact on reintubation remains contentious [2]. Therefore, the current study, which reports reduced rates of reintubation from 28 % to 15 % in high-risk populations with NIV use, is welcomed. …
