Weaning from mechanical ventilation covers the process of liberating patient support and removing associated endotracheal tube. The management weaning comprises a significant proportion care critically ill intubated patients in Intensive Care Units (ICUs). Both prolonged dependence on premature extubation expose to an increased risk complications health costs. This work aims develop decision mo...

We sought to summarize evidence comparing noninvasive and invasive weaning and their effects on mortality. METHODS We identified relevant randomized and quasirandomized trials through searches of databases, conference proceedings and grey l...
