Study information
Scientific title
Comparison of non-invasive positive pressure ventilation for extubated patients who fail a single spontaneous breathing trial vs conventional weaning
Acronym
NEXT
Study hypothesis
The aim of this prospective randomised controlled study is to determine if patients who are attached to a breathing machine (ventilator) by a tube in the mouth who are unable to breathe unaided (invasive ventilation) can be safely removed from the ventilator and maintained with ventilation via a face mask (noninvasive ventilation) for approximately 24 hours before withdrawal of NIV support.
Ethics approval
Added September 2008: East Birmingham Local Research Ethical Committee (UK) Reference number 06/Q2703/19, May 2006.

Eligibility
Participant inclusion criteria
1. Patients will need to meet the criteria for reducing breathing support - will not be weaned until physiologically ready.
2. Patients will have to be on a breathing machine attached to a tube in the mouth for at least 48 hours - patients who are on a breathing machine for <48 hours are not seen as difficult to wean from a ventilator
3. Age > 18 years - patient should be able to make own legal judgements to treatment
4. Written informed consent obtained - unethical to carry out study without consent
5. Failed an attempt to try breathing without help - study only being carried out on people who have difficulty with weaning
