Abstract:

Objective To observe the high-flow nasal cannulae can reduce the rates of reintubation of patients with acute respiratory failure after the lung transplantation in intensive care unit（ICU）. Methods A total number of 18 cases of patients after lung transplantation with aute respiratory failure in the ICU after extubation were divided into two groups，control group of 9 patients，9 cases of observation group patients. Compareing the reintubation rates between control group patients using non-invasive mechanical ventilation and observation group of patients using HFNC. Results Observation group of reintubation rate was 22.22% ，the control group was 55.55%， reintubation rate difference of two groups of patients were statistically significant（P ＜ 0.05）. Conclusion HFNC can reduce the postoperative extubation in patients with acute respiratory failure after lung transplantation.
