Comparison of Postextubation Complications Between Positive-Pressure and Suctioning Techniques: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Several studies have investigated postextubation complications of the positive-pressure and suctioning techniques; however, these studies yielded inconsistent results. Therefore, in this systematic review, we aimed to assess and compare the risk of complications between these techniques after extubation.

Methods

This study was registered with the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (CRD42021272068). We searched for randomized controlled trials (RCT) or observational studies that compared positive-pressure and suctioning extubation techniques in medical literature databases. Our search was conducted from the databases' inception to July 7, 2022. The included studies were assessed for quality by using a risk of bias tool.

Results

Six RCTs
