Abstract
Weaning from mechanical ventilation is defined as the process of release of ventilatory support and how the evaluation of this phase is conducted in the Spontaneous Breathing Test (SBT). One of the most used modes of SBT is the Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP). However, together with the mechanical ventilation modes it can be used the Automatic Tube Compensation (ATC), which compensates the resistance imposed by the endotracheal tube.
Highlights
Spontaneous breathing test conducted with and without automatic tube compensation does not differ from a metabolic standpoint
