Pressure Support and Positive End Expiratory Pressure During Spontaneous Breathing Trial

Daily spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) with 7 cmH2O pressure support and 5 cmH2O positive end-expiratory pressure are performed to assess weanability. In case of success, a SBT with T-piece is performed to determine if the patients is at high risk of extubation failure. In this case and/or in the presence of risk factors, systematic non-invasive ventilation is applied after extubation.
