Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this feasibility study is to learn whether a new approach to breathing tube removal within the Intensive Care Unit is safe and acceptable to participants who require a breathing tube for the management of severe breathing difficulties. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* What is the recruitment rate to the study over 12 months?
* Is the study design acceptable and safe to participants?

Participants will receive high flow nasal oxygen before their breathing tube is removed. The investigators will compare this with standard practice of applying conventional, low-flow oxygen after the breathing tube removed to see if this effects the rate of repeat breathing tube insertion.

The investigators hypothesise that they will recruit 30 participants to the study protocol (15 participants in each group) over 12 months and that our study protocol will be tolerable and acceptable to participants.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Participants will be randomised in a 1:1 manner between two treatments at time of extubation: SAFEx treatment or standard care.
Primary Study Purpose

PREVENTION

Blinding Strategy

NONE

Participants will be randomised in a 1:1 manner using a computer-generated 30 number sequence of '1s' and '2s' from https://www.random.org/ between 1) SAFEx treatment and 2) standard care. A clinician, not involved in the study, will obtain this 30 number sequence and conceal its order within 30 sealed, opaque, numbered envelopes. The investigators will be blinded to the participant's allocation until they have been enrolled in the study, after which the next envelope in the sequence will be opened and treatment allocation will be unblinded.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

SAFEx

Electrical Impedance Tomography recording is commenced 15 minutes prior to planned extubation. High Flow Nasal Therapy (HFNT) is commenced at least 10 minutes prior to planned extubation. At 5 minutes before extubation, the flow rate of HFNT should be established at 60 litres per min (or as high as can be tolerated by the participant) and the fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) set at 40 percent. Prior to extubation, endotracheal, infraglottic and supraglottic suctioning are performed. Then, the cuff is let down followed by immediate extubation with simultaneous application of HFNT. 10 minutes after extubation, the FiO2 is weaned in a protocolised manner to 21 percent - or as close to 21 percent as possible over 25 minutes. If the participant is safely weaned onto room air, the flow rate of HFNT is then reduced in a protocolised manner over 120 minutes: 60 minutes at 60 litres per minute (or the highest flow rate tolerated) and then 60 minutes at 30 Litres per minute.

Standard Care

Electrical Impedance Tomography recording commenced 15 minutes prior to planned extubation. Prior to extubation, endotracheal, infraglottic and supraglottic suctioning are performed. Then, the cuff is let down followed by immediate extubation on to low flow conventional oxygen with a fraction of inspired oxygen of up to 40 percent. Then, the participant is weaned at the discretion of their clinician over the next 2 hours and 35 minutes.
