This document outlines a 3 step process for assessing risk of extubation failure and preparing patients for extubation. Step 1 involves screening criteria to identify high or low risk patients. Step 2 assesses additional risk factors that could classify a patient as high risk. Step 3 prepares patients for extubation based on their risk, with specific protocols and monitoring for immediate high risk, delayed high risk, and low risk patients. The goal is to identify risk factors, communicate extensively among teams, and closely monitor patients post-extubation to prevent reintubation issues.
