Özet

Objective: Numerous parameters have been suggested for the prediction of weaning from mechanical ventilation; however, these parameters have limited success in the prediction of weaning outcome. This study aims to assess the success of peak flow rates [spontaneous peak inspiratory flow rate (SPIF) and spontaneous peak expiratory flow rate (SPEF)] that were measured during a spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) for the prediction of weaning outcome.
