Since the invention of mechanical ventilation and the development of critical care medicine, weaning literature and research have transformed daily patient treatment in intensive care units. More study on weaning trials has become important as our understanding of mechanical breathing with the use of mechanical ventilators has grown. Studies tended to concentrate on the length of mechanical ventilation utilizing different methods for conducting spontaneous breathing trials as a means of weaning patients from assisted ventilation. This article review offers a comprehensive look at the effectiveness of weaning using spontaneous breathing trials with pressure support ventilation (PSV), synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation (SIMV), and T-tube or T-piece trials.
