Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: All patients, 18 to 65 years of age who have undergone neurosurgical procedure, and are on mechanical ventilation for more than 24 hours post operatively and are ready for weaning (based on Weaning Clinical Criteria) will be included in this study.
