Abstract

Synopsis: A spontaneous breathing trial consisting of 30 minutes of pressure support ventilation, compared with 2 hours of T-piece ventilation, led to significantly higher rates of successful extubation.Source: Subirá C, Hernández G, Vázquez A, et al. Effect of pressure support versus T-piece ventilation strategies during spontaneous breathing trials on successful extubation among patients receiving mechanical ventilation: a randomized clinical trial.
