It is difficult to predict if a neurologically injured patient will successfully be extubated. Salam et alstudied 88 patients prospectively, measuring cough peak flow (CPF), endotracheal secretions, and the ability to complete four simple tasks prior to extubation. In patients who failed extubation, they had a lower CPF p = 0.03), higher amount of secretions (RR 3.0, 95% Cl 1.0-8.8), and diminished ability to complete the four simple tasks (RR 4.3, 95% Cl 1.8-10.4). [Pg.165]
