Investigating the risk of reintubation by cough force assessment using cough peak expiratory flow: a single-center observational pilot study
Abstract Background No objective indicator exists for evaluating cough strength during extubation of tracheally intubated patients. This study aimed to determine whether cough peak expiratory flow (CPEF) can predict the risk of reintubation due to decreased cough strength. Methods This was a retrosp...
