Brief Summary  
Currently available oxygen delivery devices have many shortcomings, factors such as mouth breathing or improper fit can result in inconsistent oxygen delivery, compromising therapy effectiveness. Also, ill-fitting of face masks and nasal cannula can leads to leakage of high concentrations of oxygen in the environment resulting in wastage of an important resource
, environmental pollution, with associated increased risk of causing fire hazards. Subjective errors of not setting the flows while the equipment is in place whereas other situations of not proper placing of the equipment while the flows are on, not full filling the purpose. There is no inbuilt safety mechanism for detecting apnea and thus supply of oxygen continues even if the patient is not breathing. High flows rates are required to produce high fiO2 resulting in dryness of nose and oral cavity leading to patient discomfort.
Addressing these concerns, an innovative and patented oxygen delivery device called PranNiti, is a great O2 conserving tool. The device is registered under FDA (Food and Drug Administration, Pune, Maharashtra division) with License no. MFG/MD/2023/001075. This is noninvasive oxygen supplementing device with required patient safety features. On initial trials it was proven to be able to give oxygen savings up to 70 % achieving better SPO2.
Hence, the present study will be carried out in the post extubation patients with type 1 respiratory failure comparing the efficacy of the standard oxygen delivery device-Venturi mask with PranNiti. This study aims to provide evidence-based recommendations for optimizing oxygen therapy in post-extubation patients with type 1 respiratory failure. By comparing standard oxygen delivery devices with a newly developed device, this research has the potential to improve patient outcomes, enhance healthcare resource utilization, and guide clinical practice.
