We sought to demonstrate the superiority of a targeted therapy strategy involving high-flow nasal cannula oxygen (HFNCO 2 ) therapy and noninvasive ventilation (NIV) using lung ultrasound score (LUS) in comparison with standard care among patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) who undergo successful weaning to decrease the incidence of extubation failure at both 48 hours and seven days.
