Acute: REDvent
Acute Phase: The acute phase is defined as the time from intubation until the patient meets weaning criteria, passes the initial oxygenation test (decrease PEEP to 5 cmH2O and FiO2 to 0.5, maintains SpO2 \> 90%), and undergoes a Spontaneous Breathing Trial (SBT). Patients will be managed with pressure control plus pressure support ventilation using a computerized decision support tool that will recommend changes to ventilator settings approximately every 4 hr (with or without a new blood gas). If the patient is spontaneously breathing, it will incorporate real-time measures of effort of breathing (esophageal manometry) to keep it in a target range. Computerized Ventilator Protocol: Computerized Decision Support System which recommends changes to ventilator settings to promote physiologic levels of patient effort of breathing. Esophageal Manometry: Esophageal Manometry Catheter to measure effort of breathing an transpulmonary pressure Respiratory Inductance Plethysmography (RIP): RIP bands to measure thoraco-abdominal synchrony during spontaneous breathing trials Diaphragm Ultrasound: Daily measurement of diaphragm thickness and diaphragm contractile activity Maximal Inspiratory Pressure: Prior to Spontaneous breathing trials, measurement of airway and esophageal maximal inspiratory pressure during airway occlusion

Weaning: Redvent
The weaning phase is defined as the time from the first SBT until the patient successfully passes an SBT. SBTs are performed daily during the weaning phase, along with measurement of PiMax with airway occlusion maneuvers. Patients will be managed in a PS/CPAP mode of ventilation and PRP will be monitored continuously, adjusting PS (to a max of 20 cmH20) every 4 h to maintain PRP in the target range. PEEP may be adjusted between 5 and 10 cmH20. Weaning phase intervention continues until extubation.
Weaning: Control
The weaning phase is defined as the time from the first SBT until the patient successfully passes an SBT. SBTs are performed daily during the weaning phase, along with measurement of PiMax with airway occlusion maneuvers. Ventilator management will be per usual care as determined by the treating clinical team until the patient is extubated.

Population: Measure Analysis Population Description: All patients entered acute phase of study (n=247). Patients were eligible for the primary outcome of length of weaning if they had a spontaneous breathing trial attempted (n=215). Patients that passed first spontaneous breathing trial or were extubated successfully ended the study at the acute phase (n=131).

Acute Phase: The acute phase is defined as the time from intubation until the patient meets weaning criteria, passes the initial oxygenation test (decrease PEEP to 5 cmH2O and FiO2 to 0.5, maintains SpO2 \> 90%), and undergoes a Spontaneous Breathing Trial (SBT). Patients will be managed with pressure control plus pressure support ventilation using a computerized decision support tool that will recommend changes to ventilator settings approximately every 4 hr (with or without a new blood gas). If the patient is spontaneously breathing, it will incorporate real-time measures of effort of breathing (esophageal manometry) to keep it in a target range.

The weaning phase is defined as the time from the first SBT until the patient successfully passes an SBT. SBTs are performed daily during the weaning phase, along with measurement of PiMax with airway occlusion maneuvers. Patients will be managed in a PS/CPAP mode of ventilation and PRP will be monitored continuously, adjusting PS (to a max of 20 cmH20) every 4 h to maintain PRP in the target range. PEEP may be adjusted between 5 and 10 cmH20. Weaning phase intervention continues until extubation.

Measure
Acute: REDvent
n=125 participants at risk
Acute Phase: The acute phase is defined as the time from intubation until the patient meets weaning criteria, passes the initial oxygenation test (decrease PEEP to 5 cmH2O and FiO2 to 0.5, maintains SpO2 \> 90%), and undergoes a Spontaneous Breathing Trial (SBT). Patients will be managed with pressure control plus pressure support ventilation using a computerized decision support tool that will recommend changes to ventilator settings approximately every 4 hr (with or without a new blood gas). If the patient is spontaneously breathing, it will incorporate real-time measures of effort of breathing (esophageal manometry) to keep it in a target range. Computerized Ventilator Protocol: Computerized Decision Support System which recommends changes to ventilator settings to promote physiologic levels of patient effort of breathing. Esophageal Manometry: Esophageal Manometry Catheter to measure effort of breathing an transpulmonary pressure Respiratory Inductance Plethysmography (RIP): RIP bands to measure thoraco-abdominal synchrony during spontaneous breathing trials Diaphragm Ultrasound: Daily measurement of diaphragm thickness and diaphragm contractile activity Maximal Inspiratory Pressure: Prior to Spontaneous breathing trials, measurement of airway and esophageal maximal inspiratory pressure during airway occlusion
Acute: Control
n=122 participants at risk
Acute Phase: The acute phase is defined as the time from intubation until the patient meets weaning criteria, passes the initial oxygenation test (decrease PEEP to 5 cmH2O and FiO2 to 0.5, maintains SpO2 \> 90%), and undergoes a Spontaneous Breathing Trial (SBT). Ventilator management will be per usual care until the patient meets weaning criteria and passes the oxygenation test. Esophageal Manometry: Esophageal Manometry Catheter to measure effort of breathing an transpulmonary pressure Respiratory Inductance Plethysmography (RIP): RIP bands to measure thoraco-abdominal synchrony during spontaneous breathing trials Diaphragm Ultrasound: Daily measurement of diaphragm thickness and diaphragm contractile activity Maximal Inspiratory Pressure: Prior to Spontaneous breathing trials, measurement of airway and esophageal maximal inspiratory pressure during airway occlusion
Weaning: REDvent
n=58 participants at risk
The weaning phase is defined as the time from the first SBT until the patient successfully passes an SBT. SBTs are performed daily during the weaning phase, along with measurement of PiMax with airway occlusion maneuvers. Patients will be managed in a PS/CPAP mode of ventilation and PRP will be monitored continuously, adjusting PS (to a max of 20 cmH20) every 4 h to maintain PRP in the target range. PEEP may be adjusted between 5 and 10 cmH20. Weaning phase intervention continues until extubation.
Weaning: Control
n=58 participants at risk
The weaning phase is defined as the time from the first SBT until the patient successfully passes an SBT. SBTs are performed daily during the weaning phase, along with measurement of PiMax with airway occlusion maneuvers. Ventilator management will be per usual care as determined by the treating clinical team until the patient is extubated.
