Background An accurate predictor of successful decannulation in neurosurgical patients that indicates the best time for tra-cheotomy decannulation would minimize the risks of continued cannulation and unsuccessful decannulation. Objective To determine whether the peak flow rate during induced cough is an appropriate predictor of successful decannulation. Methods A total of 32 neurosurgical patients with a tracheot-omy were enrolled. The highest peak expiratory flow rate dur-ing 3 induced coughs, the total volume of tracheal secretions collected in 6 hours, and scores on the Glasgow Coma Scale were recorded. Logistic regression analysis was applied to determine the relationship between these variables and suc-cessful decannulation (reintubat...
