Scientific title
Study objectivesWe hypothesise that it is possible to further identify patients that are likely to require reintubation by subjecting patients to a burden in addition to that supposed by the spontaneous breathing test. The response to this burden could provide data that might be useful in deciding to extubate and help reduce extubation failure. This study aimed to determine the clinical and gasometric parameters registered during the dead space addition (DSA) test that are most reliable in predicting extubation failure.
Ethics approval(s)Clinical Research Ethical Committee of Hospital del Mar, Municipal Institute for Health Care (Institut Municipal d'Assistència Sanitària) (CEIC-IMAS), approved on 12/05/2005.
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedAcute respiratory failure
InterventionThis is a non-randomised, single-arm, pilot study of the dead space addition (DSA) test which aims to detect increased risk of extubation failure.

DSA test procedure:
The DSA test consisted of adding a tube with an internal volume of 100 cc (measured by filling the tube with water) between the endotracheal tube and the T-piece with oxygen for 30 minutes. At the start of the test, BP, HR, RR, O2 saturation by pulDSA test.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureClinical signs of increased work of breathing (intercostal retractions, accessory muscle use, nasal flaring) were monitored during the DSA test.
Secondary outcome measuresNo secondary outcome measures
