During the 2-year study period of inclusion, 141 patients were randomized in the 12 participating centers: 71 were treated with the preventive strategy (HFNC-OStudy flowchartMain characteristics of the populationResults expressed as number (percentage) or median [interquartile 25–75%]. AIS: Abbreviated Injury Score; ARDS: Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome [Overall, 11 patients (7.8%) required endotracheal intubation for delayed respiratory failure within 2.7 [1.3–5.8] days after randomization (intubation for isolated acute respiratory distress and NIV failure, In this population, the rate of endotracheal intubation was not significantly lower in patients treated with the experimental strategy (7% [5/71]) when compared to the control group (8.6% [6/70]), with an adjusted OR = 0.72 (95%IC: 0.20–2.43), Time course of PaOThe occurrence of pulmonary infection, delayed hemothorax or delayed ARDS was not significantly lower in patients treated by the experimental strategy (adjusted OR = 1.99 [95%IC: 0.73–5.89], Finally, patients allocated to the preventive strategy (HFNC-O
