A total of 40 patients were enrolled and assigned to the NIPPV and HFNC groups, with 20 patients in each group (see Supplementary Fig. Characteristics of patients at inclusion.Data are presented as frequencies (%), medians [interquartile range] or mean ± standard deviations.NIPPV: noninvasive positive pressure ventilation; HFNC: high-flow nasal cannula; APACHE: acute physiology and chronic health evaluation; ICU: intensive care unit; COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; MV: mechanical ventilation; RSBI: rapid shallow breathing index; RR: respiratory rate; MAP: mean arterial pressure; PaOReintubation and related outcomes.Data are presented as frequencies (%) or means ± standard deviations. *NIPPV: noninvasive positive pressure ventilation; HFNC: high-flow nasal cannula; NIV: noninvasive ventilation, NRS: noninvasive respiratory support.One minus Kaplan–Meier curves for mortality reintubation in the NIPPV and HFNC groups during the 90-day follow-up period. NIPPV: noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation; HFNC: high-flow nasal cannula.The results of the comparison of the patients’ physiological parameters and arterial blood gas analysis results at 1 h before and 2 h after extubation are presented in Table Physiological parameters 1 hour before and 2 hours after extubation.Data were presented as mean ± standard deviation.*Indicated significant difference before and after extubation within one group.NIPPV: noninvasive positive pressure ventilation; HFNC: high-flow nasal cannula; RR: respiratory rate; MAP: mean arterial pressure; HR: heart rate; PaO
