Patients were assigned to either protocolized postextubation respiratory support (a respiratory therapist\u2013driven protocol in which patients with suspected hypercapnia received noninvasive ventilation and patients without suspected hypercapnia received high-flow nasal cannula) or usual care (postextubation management at the discretion of treating clinicians).
