TL;DR
Daily screening of the respiratory function of adults receiving mechanical ventilation, followed by trials of spontaneous breathing in appropriate patients and notification of their physicians when the trials were successful, can reduce the duration of mechanical ventilation and the cost of intensive care and is associated with fewer complications than usual care.

New England Journal of MedicineA Comparison of Four Methods of Weaning Patients from Mechanical Ventilation
1,530 Citations1995Martin Dres, Fernando Frutos–Vivar +11 more
A once-daily trial of spontaneous breathing led to extubation about three times more quickly than intermittent mandatory ventilation and about twice as quickly as pressure-support ventilation.
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 randomized trial in three intensive care units in mechanically ventilated patients who met standard weaning criteria found a lower number of failures was found with PSV than with the other two modes, with the difference just reaching the level of significance.

702 Citations1995Antoní Torres, Josep M. Gatell +6 more
It is concluded that re-intubation is a risk factor for ventilator-associated pneumonia and might be avoided in a substantial number of cases and semirecumbency during the period between extubation and re-intsubation may play a role in nosocomial pneumonia development in patients who need re- Intubation.

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.

255 Citations1995S. Epstein
This study confirms the high PPV for an f/VT < 100 and defines the etiology of the 20% false-positive rate (FPR), which is best explained by extubation failure caused by processes for which f/ VT is physiologically or temporally unlikely to predict success or failure.

The hypothesis that gastric pHi can be used as a rapid indicator of blood-flow diversion from the splanchnic bed in patients in whom the demands of the respiratory pump during weaning trials are excessive or who have inadequate oxygen delivery to meet these demands is tested.
American Review of Respiratory DiseaseAirway Occlusion Pressure and Breathing Pattern as Predictors of Weaning Outcome
168 Citations1993Catherine S. H. Sassoon, C. Kees Mahutte
Airway occlusion pressure (P0.1) and the ratio of breathing frequency (f) to tidal volume (VT) (f/Vt) are good predictors of weaning outcome, but the specificity of f/VT in predicting weaning success is relatively low.

PO.1 and PO.1/MIP ratio provide the best means of predicting extubation success, and they are not influenced by tracheal tube resistance.

It is concluded that the KBS ensured appropriate patient management during the weaning period and improved the ability to predict responses to weaning.
American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care MedicineTidal Volume Maintenance During Weaning With Pressure Support
142 Citations1995Randolph W. Stroetz, Rolf D. Hubmayr
It is concluded that the gradual withdrawal of machine support does not facilitate the recognition of impending respiratory failure and Ventilatory response parameters such as the rapid shallow breathing index were of limited value in predicting weaning outcome.

It is concluded that a ventilatory management team, or some component thereof, can significantly and safely expedite the process of “weaning” patients from mechanical Ventilatory support in the ICU.
CHEST JournalUnplanned Extubation
115 Citations1994David Listello, Curtis N. Sessler
Unplanned extubation can result in serious complications; however, about half the patients who have UE can be safely observed without immediate reintubation, and selected clinical factors, which are readily available from standard ICU records for the 24-h period prior to UE, may be useful to predict the likelihood of reintubsation.

96 Citations1992Francisco Gandía, Jesús Blanco
In patients under prolonged mechanical ventilation and without chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, a period of two hours seemed to be sufficient for development and detection of weaning failure, and the addition of a moderate mechanical inspiratory load did not enhance the diagnostic accuracy of P01 measurements.

The data suggested that self-extubation is relatively rare in this institution and that about half of self- Extubated patients were reintubated, but a larger patient study population is required to show conclusively effective preventive measures and establish guidelines for reintsubation.

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.

The PI/PImax ratio provided a good separation between the patients who were successfully weaned and those who failed, and provides additional discriminative power to f/VT.

The respiratory monitor, using esophageal balloon technology, is effective in that it can provide the clinician with data that can result in more aggressive weaning from mechanical ventilation without an increase in patient intolerance.
