The main purpose of the present study is to verify whether, as compared with conventional weaning, early weaning with high-flow nasal cannula oxygenation or noninvasive positive pressure ventilation may more effective in shortening the duration of invasive ventilation, hence reducing the rates of complications and mortality in patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure.

High-flow nasal cannula oxygenation will be applied immediately after early extubation, with a gas flow rate of 50 liters per minute and a fraction of inspired oxygen of 1.0 at initiation. The fraction of inspired oxygen will be subsequently adjusted to maintain a peripheral oxygen saturation of 92% or more.
Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation will be applied immediately after early extubation, with a noninvasive ventilator (Respironics V60, Philips) using the NIPSV mode at initiation. The fraction of inspired oxygen will be adjusted to achieve SpO2 \>92% with an initial expiratory positive airway pressure (EPAP) of 4 cmH2O. EPAP will be increased gradually in increments of 1-2 cmH2O, up to a maximum of 12 cmH2O, to achieve SpO2 \>96%. Inspiratory positive airway pressure (IPAP) will be initially set at 8 cmH2O and be increased gradually in increments of 1-2 cmH2O according to patients' tolerance to obtain a tidal volume (VT) of 6-8 mL/kg.
