Abstract
Purpose of review: Guidelines recommend systematic performance of a spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) before extubation in ICUs, the objective being to reduce the risk of reintubation. In theory, a more challenging SBT performed with a T-piece may further reduce the risk of reintubation, whereas a less challenging SBT performed with pressure-support ventilation (PSV) may hasten extubation.
Recent findings: Recent findings show that a more challenging SBT with a T-piece or for a prolonged duration do not help to reduce the risk of reintubation. In contrast, a less challenging SBT with PSV is easier to pass than a T-piece, and may hasten extubation without increased risk of reintubation. Although SBT with PSV and additional positive end-expiratory pressure is indeed a less challenging SBT, further studies are needed to generalize such an easy trial in daily practice. Earlier screening for a first SBT may also decrease time to extubation without increased risk of reintubation. Lastly, reconnection to the ventilator for a short period after successful SBT facilitates recovery from the SBT-induced alveolar derecruitment.
Summary: Several recent clinical trials have improved assessment of the most adequate way to perform SBT before extubation.
