Extubation Failure
Conditions
Brief summary
The main aim is to demonstrate whether reintubation rate is lower with preventive conditioned noninvasive ventilation (NIV) rather than with High-flow oxygen therapy (HFOT) in obese intermediate-risk patients and in high-risk patients.
Interventions
Conditioned NIV during 48 hours following extubation.
HFOT set according to patients tolerance during 48 hours following extubation

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
1. High-Risk Patients: Patients under mechanical ventilation for more than 24 hours considered at high risk according to the presence of more than 3 of the following risk factors: * \>65 years. * Cardiac failure as the primary indication of mechanical ventilation. * Moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. * APACHE II \>12 points the extubation day. * Body mass index \>30. * Inability to manage respiratory secretions. * Not simple weaning. * More than 1 comorbidity. * More than 7 days under mechanical ventilation. * Hypercapnia during the spontaneous breathing trial. * Airway patency problems. 2. Obese Intermediate Risk Patients: Patients under mechanical ventilation for more than 24 hours with a Body mass index \>30 and considered at intermediate risk according to the presence of less than 3 of the following risk factors: * \>65 years. * Cardiac failure as the primary indication of mechanical ventilation. * Moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. * APACHE II \>12 points the extubation day. * Inability to manage respiratory secretions. * Not simple weaning. * More than 1 comorbidity. * More than 7 days under mechanical ventilation. * Airway patency problems.
Exclusion criteria
* \<18 years. * Thacheotomized patients. * Contraindications for NIV (recent facial or cervical trauma/surgery, active gastro-intestinal bleeding, lack of cooperation). * Unscheduled extubation. * Do not reintubate orders. * No informed consent.
