Article Synopsis
- Researchers wanted to find out which method of helping people breathe (called the Spontaneous Breathing Trial, or SBT) worked best for those who are really sick and need help with breathing tubes.
- They looked at a bunch of studies involving over 6,700 patients to compare different SBT methods, focusing on how well they helped people breathe on their own without needing tubes again.
- Results showed that methods using support like Pressure Support (PS) and Automatic Tube Compensation (ATC) were better at helping patients breathe and stay off the breathing tubes compared to a method called T-piece, but some of these methods had a higher chance of needing to put the tube back in.
Importance: Considerable controversy exists regarding the best spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) technique to use.
Objective: To summarize trials comparing alternative SBTs.
Data Sources: Several databases (MEDLINE [from inception to February 2023], the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials [in February 2023], and Embase [from inception to February 2023] and 5 conference proceedings (from January 1990 to April 2023) were searched in this systematic review and meta-analysis.
