Summary

Severe brain-injured patients require prolonged mechanical ventilation. Weaning these patients from mechanical ventilation is challenging. During neurologic recovery, brain injured patients usually present satisfactory respiratory autonomy. However, the exact timing of extubation is unknown and is frequently delayed because of potential inhalation. To date, there are no clinical signs available in the current literature that can help the attending physician in the decision-making process of extubation in brain-injured-patients

Conditions

• Severe Brain Injury

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Collection of medical data from ICU patients	A code will be applied to each patient included. Medical data such as demography, ISS, clinical exam at time of extubation, extubation failure, tracheotomy, will be collected during ICU stay.
