Biospecimen Description:

Estimated Enrollment:	100
Study Start Date:	January 2005
Estimated Study Completion Date:	October 2006

Detailed Description:

We hypothesize that the trend of the Rapid Shallow Breathing Index or RSBI rate, is a better predictor of weaning outcome than the RSBI as a single value during the weaning trial. patients are recruited during a weaning trial on t-piece and the RSBI during what the RSBI is measured periodically. The outcome is ventilatory status at 24 hours after the weaning trial.
