EXtubation With SUctioning or With Positive End-Expiratory Pressure in Intensive Care Unit

Extubation in intensive care unit is a risky situation. Its failure is associated with an increase in the duration of mechanical ventilation and high morbidity and mortality. Our hypothesis is that the extubation procedure associating prior endotracheal aspiration followed by ablation of the intubation probe under the application of a PEEP, would make it possible both to avoid the leakage of secretions towards the lower airways and the alveolar recruitment, compared to extubation with concomitant endotracheal aspiration. By these mechanisms, this extubation procedure combining prior endotracheal aspiration followed by ablation of the tube under the application of a PEEP, would make it possible to increase the ventilator free days from any mechanical ventilation.
