Brief Summary:
Cough strength score will give true prediction of Extubation outcome
Detailed Description:
Head trauma patients were evaluated for readiness to be weaned off mechanical ventilation. If they had completed an Spontaneous Breathing Trial (SBT) before extubation. To measure Semiquantitative Cough Strength Score (SCSS), the investigator will put the patients at 30° to 45°, measure SCSS, first. The investigator enhance the patient to cough with as much effort as, when the investigator disconnect the ventilator. The cough strength was scored from 0 to 5 as follows: 0 = no cough on command, 1 = audible movement of air through the endotracheal tube but no audible cough, 2 = weakly (barely) audible cough, 3 = clearly audible cough, 4 = stronger cough and 5 = multiple sequential strong coughs.
