The L'Hermite study found a 42.8% incidence of SpO2 below 92% with the routine suction technique. Incidence of SpO2 below 92% was chosen as the primary outcome rather than time to SpO2 decline, because some patients may never develop SpO2 below 92%. After extubation, if SpO2 falls below 92%, supplemental oxygen, mask ventilation, or reintubation will be provided. The primary outcome of the trial is the incidence of SpO2 below 92% within 10 minutes after tracheal extubation.
