We introduced an extubation strategy for emphysema patients after bilateral lung transplantation. Patients who met the extubation criteria were extubated in the operating room (OR) followed by non-invasive ventilation, and the other patients were extubated in the intensive care unit (ICU). The primary objective was to determine the extubation rate. The secondary outcomes were to determine the factors allowing for extubation in the OR and the postoperative course.
