- Abstract
- Endotracheal reintubation for post-extubation acute respiratory distress is sometimes difficult due to the presence of laryngeal edema. In the present study, a report was made on two patients with post-extubation acute respiratory distress syndrome, whose clinical condition deteriorated even with optimal medical treatment. The onset of acute respiratory acidosis and the progressive loss of consciousness could have justified intubation and the use of mechanical ventilation. However, noninvasive bilevel nasal positive pressure ventilation was introduced, thereby avoiding a more aggressive therapeutic option: a rapid positive response was obtained in both cases.
