Computer-driven automated weaning reduces weaning duration in difficult-to-wean patients

Chinese Medical Journal, 2013
Background Weaning difficulties occur in 31% of total intubated patients, and result in prolonged weaning duration. A computer-driven automated weaning system can perform a spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) automatically and display a message when the trial is successfully passed. Such a system might have a beneficial effect on
