Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Duration of weaning process. Timepoints: 1. Start of ventilator triggering by the patient 2. Patient extubation | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Levels of pressure support, from the start of spontaneous breathing till extubation 2. Respiratory rate, from the start of spontaneous breathing till extubation 3. Tidal volume, from the start of spontaneous breathing till extubation 4. Respiratory rate/tidal volume (L), from the start of spontaneous breathing till extubation 5. Fraction of inspired oxygen (FIO2), positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) levels and oxygen saturation during the weaning process, from the start of spontaneous breathing till extubation 6. Need of re-intubation or need of non-invasive ventilation after 48 hours of extubation | — |
