Excerpt

In routine practice for most surgical patients in Thailand, all appropriated patients with planned discontinuation of mechanical ventilator (MV) are routinely changed to T-piece before extubation. However, this method needs to alter the instrument for testing tolerability of the patient. The objective of this study was to compare continuous low pressure support (PSV) and the T-piece method (T) before discontinue mechanical ventilation and extubation in the surgical intensive care unit (SICU). …
