Restrict the cuff leak test to high-risk patients The absence of a cuff leak increases the likelihood of reintubation (positive likelihood ratio ~4) whereas the presence of a cuff leak reduces the likelihood of reintubation (negative likelihood ratio ~0.5)(Girard 2017). This affects the post-test probability of reintubation as follows (1): #Diagnosis #Criticalcare #CuffLeak #Extubation #Effects #Probability #Reintubation #Pretest #Posttest
