Summary

This study is a comparison of two most commonly used modes of weaning and the outcomes in the two groups.

Conditions

  • Respiration, Artificial
  • Ventilator Weaning

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Pressure support ventilation

These patients are weaned by gradual reduction of pressure support and extubated when they tolerate a pressure support of 7 cm of water for one hour.

PROCEDURE

Spontaneous breathing trials

These patients are weaned by giving a T piece trial with 8 cm of water pressure support and extubated when they tolerate it for one hour.
