Comparison between pressure support ventilation and T-piece in spontaneous breathing trials.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Recent guidelines recommended conducting spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) with modest inspiratory pressure augmentation rather than T-piece or continuous positive airway pressure. However, it was based on few studies focused on the outcomes of extubation rather than the weaning process, despite the existence of various weaning situations in clinical practice. This study was designed to investigate the effects of SBT with pressure support ventilation (PSV) or T-piece on weaning outcomes.

Methods

All consecutive patients admitted to two medical intensive care units (ICUs) and those requiring mechanical ventilation (MV) for more than 24 h from November 1, 2017 to September 30, 2020 were prospectively registered. T-piece trial was used until March 2019, and then, pre
