Abstract

Rationale: Spontaneous breathing trials (SBT) allow evaluation of a patient’s potential to breathe independently, but do not directly assess extubation readiness. Objectives: To describe adherence to SBT screening and conduct, and extubation rates after successful SBTs in patients enrolled in a multicenter randomized trial comparing protocolized sedation with protocolized sedation plus daily sedation interruption.

Keywords:
