Breathing tube to mask: a new weaning strategy tested

NCT ID NCT02921347

Summary

This study tested whether switching patients between a breathing tube and a mask could help them come off a ventilator faster. It involved 83 adults who had been on a ventilator for at least two weeks and were expected to have difficulty weaning. The goal was to see if this switching method was better than standard weaning practices at reducing time on the ventilator.
