Conference Presentation: Effect of Protocolized Weaning With Early Extubation to Noninvasive Ventilation vs Invasive Weaning on Time to Liberation From Mechanical Ventilation Among Patients With Respiratory Failure: A Randomized Trial

In this randomized trial, early extubation to noninvasive ventilation did not shorten time to liberation from any form of ventilation among ventilated patients with difficulty weaning. Gavin Perkins, MD, of the University of Warwick, Coventry, England, presents findings from the Breathe trial at the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM) 31st Annual Congress, LIVES 2018, on October 22 in Paris.
