Intubation & Extubation Criteria

Purpose:

A guideline to define standardized criteria for initial intubation, extubation failure, and reintubation for ELBW infants.  

Neonatal clinical guidelines, protocols, pathways, and algorithms for respiratory management.

It includes thresholds for FiO2, pH, pCO2, and apnea that should prompt consideration for intubation, as well as suggested thresholds for considering extubation.

The guideline was developed with evidence-based principles, multi-disciplinary collaboration, and individualized and family-centered approaches to caring for the neonate.

Population:

Infants 22-27wks EGA
