Acute hypercapnic respiratory failure (AHRF), which is commonly defined as arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) ≥ 45 mmHg and frequently accompanied by reduced levels of arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2), can occur in a variety of etiologies, mainly in chronic respiratory diseases, such as exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cystic fibrosis, thoracic deformities, as well as other conditions, such as neuromuscular disease The purpose of this research is to To compare efficacy of administration of high flow nasal canula versus non-invasive mechanical ventilation on preventing reintubation during 72 hours postextubation of patients with type 2 respiratory failure with difficult weaning.
