Excerpt

A large number of predictive indices are used for evaluation of the capability for transition to spontaneous breathing in critically ill, mechanically ventilated patients. The great number of these indices and the difficulties in the interpretation causes significant obstacles and unclear points during the early attempts for transition to spontaneous breathing. In our study we investigated the role of predictive indices that are significant for weaning after long-term mechanical ventilation. The purpose is to determine predictive indices, which have early and significant predictive value concerning successful transition to spontaneous breathing. …
