    ObjectivesHigh-flow nasal cannula and noninvasive positive pressure ventilation have become ubiquitous in contemporary PICUs. Practice patterns associated with the use of these modalities have not been well described. In this study, we aimed to describe the use of high-flow nasal cannula and noninvasive positive pressure ventilation in children after extubation and analyze the progression of usage in association with patient factors. Our secondary aim was to describe interventions used for postextubation stridor.DesignSingle-center retrospective cohort study.SettingA 36-bed quaternary medical-surgical PICU.PatientsMechanically ventilated pediatric patients admitted between April 2017 and March 2018. Exclusions were patients in the cardiac ICU, patients requiring a tracheostomy or chronic ventilatory support, and patients with limited resuscitation status.InterventionsNone.Measurements And Main ResultsData regarding respiratory modality use was collected for the first 72 hours after extubation. There were 427 patients included in the analysis; 51 patients (11.9%) were extubated to room air, 221 (51.8%) to nasal cannula, 132 (30.9%) to high-flow nasal cannula, and 23 (5.4%) to noninvasive positive pressure ventilation. By 72 hours, 314 patients (73.5%) were on room air, 52 (12.2%) on nasal cannula, 29 (6.8%) on high-flow nasal cannula, eight (1.9%) on noninvasive positive pressure ventilation, and 24 (5.6%) were reintubated. High-flow nasal cannula was the most used respiratory modality for postextubation stridor. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that longer duration of invasive mechanical ventilation increased the odds of initial high-flow nasal cannula and noninvasive positive pressure ventilation use, and a diagnosis of cerebral palsy increased the odds of escalating from high-flow nasal cannula to noninvasive positive pressure ventilation in the first 24 hours post extubation.ConclusionsHigh-flow nasal cannula is commonly used immediately after pediatric extubation and the development of postextubation stridor; however, its usage sharply declines over the following 72 hours. Larger multicenter trials are needed to identify high-risk patients for extubation failure that might benefit the most from prophylactic use of high-flow nasal cannula and noninvasive positive pressure ventilation after extubation.
