Weaning Outcomes: 58.1% (136 patients) successfully weaned, includeing 11.1% (26 patients) required only a tracheostomy. 9.8% (23 patients) needed non-invasive ventilation. 32. 1% (75 patients) continued to require mechanical ventilation. 34.2% (80 patients) on invasive pressure control mode at PMV diagnosis. Pressure control was the most commonly used method. Synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation (SIMV) used by 30.4% (71 patients). Pressure support ventilation (PSV) used by 5. 1% (12 patients). 63.2% (148 patients) received physiotherapy. 44.9% (105 patients) received cough augmentation techniques. 26.9% (63 patients) underwent tracheostomy after an average of 29 days of invasive mechanical ventilation. Higher fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) on PMV diagnosis day associated with weaning failure, the OR value is 0.674. While lower airway diseases had one more times chance of weaning seccess than central nervous system diseases, the OR value is 2.144.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Among survivors, ventilation strategies for PMV weaning in Chinese PICUs are diverse, with pressure control commonly used initially, followed by SIMV and PSV.
