TL;DR
For this group of patients requiring prolonged ventilation, the oxygen cost of breathing proved to be a more reliable predictor of both successful extubation and failure.

New England Journal of MedicineA Prospective Study of Indexes Predicting the Outcome of Trials of Weaning from Mechanical Ventilation
1,373 Citations1991Karl L. Yang, Martin J. Tobin
Two new indexes are developed: the first quantitates rapid shallow breathing as the ratio of respiratory frequency to tidal volume (f/VT), and the second is termed CROP, because it integrates thoracic compliance, respiratory ṟate, arterial oxygenation, and P1max.

A large number of patients with asthma have trouble controlling their coughing and wheezing, and the use of steroids to treat these problems is a natural application of steroids.

The ease with which these measurements can be performed at the bedside and their high degree of predictability make them useful in acute respiratory care.

It is concluded that P0.1 is an important indicator for successful weaning during discontinuation of assisted ventilation in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and Tachypnea was not useful in predicting failure to wean.

182 Citations1983J Tahvanainen, Markku Salmenperä +1 more
No significant difference between patients successfully extubated and those who required reintubation was found using the traditional weaning criteria or blood gases, and these 3 variables correlated best to the patients' outcome after extubation.

Standard bedside criteria of respiratory mechanical capability and the mechanical work of spontaneous breathing were measured in mechanically ventilated patients and found satisfaction of bedside mechanical weaning criteria is associated with weaning success in patients requiring brief mechanical ventilation.

It is hypothesized that abnormal ribcage-abdominal (RC-Ab) motion is a common finding in the early stages of weaning and its presence does not inevitably imply an unsuccessful weaning outcome and tested this hypothesis in patients undergoing a weaning trial.

This study studied eleven patients recovering from acute respiratory failure to determine whether central ventilatory drive, measured as airway occlusion pressure 0.1 s after onset of inspiration, could accurately predict the success or failure of the attempt, and found it to be specific and sensitive as a predictor of successful weaning from mechanical ventilation.
