A major limitation of these studies was that the two groups may be not comparable concerning the severity of the underlying disease and the presence of comorbidities. In this physiological study, we assessed the determinants of weaning success in patients acting as their own control, once they are eventually liberated from the ventilator.<\/jats:p>\n                     <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                        <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                        <jats:p>In 30 stable tracheotomised ventilator-dependent patients admitted to a weaning center inside a respiratory intensive care unit, we recorded the breathing pattern, respiratory mechanics, inspiratory muscle function, and tension-time index of diaphragm (TTdi = Pdisw\/Pdi<jats:sub>max<\/jats:sub> [that is, tidal transdiaphragmatic pressure over maximum transdiaphragmatic pressure] \u00d7 Ti\/Ttot [that is, the inspiratory time over the total breath duration]) at the time of weaning failure (T<jats:sub>0<\/jats:sub>).
