Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A variety of weaning methods are available, but no one method has consistently proven to be superior to the others.These methods include T-tube (T-piece), continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), pressure support ventilation (PSV), and synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation (SIMV).One recent multicenter study lends evidence to support the use of PSV for weaning over T-tube or SIMV weaning.Often these weaning methods are used in combination with each other, such as SIMV with PSV, CPAP with PSV, or SIMV with CPAP.
