That’s a little dramatic. Most people on vents don’t make it but there have been successful extubations. Mostly younger patients.

Exactly.... very few come off with existing health problems. 1st line of treatment is high flow O2, vapotherm, bipap...... last step you are on the vent. MAYBE 10% are extubated successfully
