Pressure Support Compared to T-Piece Trial: What Is the Optimal Strategy?
Post-hoc analysis of a multicenter, randomized clinical trial among adults receiving at least 24 hours of mechanical ventilation who were ready for ventilator weaning revealed that the use of pressure support significantly increased the proportion of patients successfully extubated compared to T-piece.
