Scientific titlePrediction of extubation outcome: a randomised, controlled trial with automatic tube compensation versus pressure support ventilation
Study objectivesThe use of automatic tube compensation during a spontaneous breathing trial would have an advantage over pressure support in predicting successful extubation outcome.
Ethics approval(s)Helsinki Board of Rabin Medical Centre granted approval in April 2006 (ref: 2038).
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedWeaning from mechanical ventilation
InterventionPatients are blindly allocated to undergo a 1-hour spontaneous breathing trial with either automatic tube compensation (ATC) (patients breathed through the ventilatory circuit using flow-triggering and CPAP of 5 cm H2O, FiO2 less than 0.5 with the addition of ATC 100%, the ATC group) or pressure support ventilation (PSV) (patients breathed through the ventilatory circuit using flow-triggering and CPAP of 5 cm H2O, FiO2 less than 0.5 with the addition of 7 cm H2O of pressure support, the PSV group). Patients tolerating the breathing trial underwent immediate extubation while patients not tolerating the trial were reconnected to the ventilator. Patients were followed up for 48 hours following extubation.
Intervention typeProcedure/Surgery
Primary outcome measureTolerance of the spontaneous breathing trial: ability to maintain spontaneous breathing for greater than 48 hours after extubation.
Secondary outcome measuresPredictive value of the frequency to tidal volume ratio with ATC compared to the ratio without ATC.
