Comparison Between Noninvasive Mechanical Ventilation and Standard Oxygen Therapy in Children Up to 3 Years Old With Respiratory Failure After Extubation

Abstract

The study indicates that a larger randomized trial comparing noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation and standard oxygen therapy in children with respiratory failure is feasible, providing a basis for a future trial in this setting. No differences were seen between groups. The number of excluded patients was high.
