Respiratory failure & ventilation

Automatic continuous P0.1 measurements during weaning from mechanical ventilation: a clinical study

Ann Intensive CarePublished Prospective observational study

An erratum to this article was published (Ann Intensive Care, 17 Jun 2025 ↗)

Authors' conclusion

The delta of P0.1vent values between SBT and reventilation are higher for patients who fail extubation, especially for those who had ARDS. While elevated P0.1 vent values were associated with extubation failure, the overlap in values limits its usefulness as a reliable predictor.

Study context

Population
Adults intubated >24 h and screened for weaning from mechanical ventilation (MV); Spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) 1 h at PS0 ZEEP, then 1 h reventilation (pressure support 8–12 cmH2O, PEEP 5 cmH2O)measurements from 212 patients
Participants
224 adults
Exposure
Extubation success vs extubation failure vs SBT failure
  • Successful extubationsn = 157reference
  • Extubation failuresn = 46
  • SBT failuresn = 21
Outcome
Association of P0.1 vent values with extubation success or failure; factors influencing P0.1 vent

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

P0.1 vent mean values
Significantly higher for extubation failures and SBT failures vs successful extubations
p < 0.001
Delta P0.1 vent (reventilation vs SBT): success vs failure
0.21 (0.02-0.62) cm H2O vs. 1.12 (0.54-2.38) cm H2O; p < 0.0001

Observational data: associations, not effects.

Further findings

P0.1 vent, previous ARDS vs none (SBT and reventilation periods)

Previous ARDS vs no ARDS
1.08 (0.70; 2.02) cmH2O vs. 0.80 (0.54; 1.28) cmH2O (p = 0.003)

P0.1 vent, airway humidification vs none

With vs without humidification
0.92 (0.57; 1.54) cmH2O vs. 1.27 (0.91; 2.24) cmH2O, p = 0.003
