High Flow Tracheal Oxygen for Weaning of Tracheostomized Patients

In this pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT), the investigators aim to explore the feasibility of conducting a powered RCT that examines the efficacy and safety of high flow tracheal oxygen (HFTO) in weaning critically ill tracheostomy patients from mechanical ventilation. Objective of the study 1. To assess the feasibility of conducting a larger RCT as primary objective. 2. To explore the effect of using HFTO in mechanically ventilated tracheostomized critically ill patients on ventilator-free days (VFD) compared to standard of care method using tracheal mask (TM) as secondary objective.
