| Summary: | Introduction Mechanical ventilation may be lifesaving intervention,It can be associated with complications,Thus,successful weaning is constitutive.One of the factors which is important in successful weaning is method of weaning. It is shown that weaning is conducted successfully by using Spontaneous Breathing Trial (SBT) through T-piece and pressure support (PS) ventilation.But few studies have not accepted it.In this study,we evaluated the role of SBT in extubation of patients in pediatric intensive care. Materials and Methods In a cross sectional and analytical study, three hundred sixty patients with adequate gas exchange (indicated by PaO2 higher than 60 mm/Hg while FIO2 of 0.40 or less (or PaO2 ∕ FIO2ratio> 300) were enrolled. Patients underwent a 2-hours trial of spontaneous breathing with pressure support ventilation.They were monitored during the test for 2 hours and were classified as failing the test if at any time in the 2-hours period ,there was tachypnea , excessive work of breathing,Tachycardia and SPO2 |
