A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to describe the characteristics and factors influencing the weaning process from mechanical ventilation in adult patients in a medical intensive care unit. It involves daily assessments by respiratory care practitioners to determine patients' readiness for weaning based on their clinical stability and pulmonary function. Data on the weaning process, spontaneous breathing trials, and patient outcomes will be collected to better understand the duration and effectiveness of weaning. The study has been ongoing since November 2017 and includes all eligible patients receiving mechanical ventilation for at least two days.
