Despite its importance, considerable uncertainties remain regarding the optimal strategies to achieve successful weaning. Early weaning is crucial, as IMV is associated with complications related to high mortality rates, such as prolonged weaning and intubation-associated pneumonia (IAP). This review aims to highlight the role of non-invasive respiratory supports (NIRSs), including non-invasive ventilation (NIV) and high-flow nasal cannulas (HFNCs), as a therapeutic bridge between IMV dependency and spontaneous breathing. NIV and HFNCs are recommended to prevent post-extubation respiratory failure (PERF) in high-risk and low-risk patients, respectively, and their combination appears effective in high-risk populations. On the other hand, NIV is not advised in established non-hypercapnic PERF, as it may increase mortality by delaying intubation; however, it can facilitate extubation in patients with hypercapnic respiratory failure. NIRSs may also benefit patients at high risk of post-operative pulmonary complications such as acute respiratory failure (ARF), with either NIV or HFNCs being appropriate. In light of this evidence, appropriate NIRSs selection and application may be pivotal in achieving successful weaning and better outcomes in critically ill patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm14207443","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,21]],"date-time":"2025-10-21T15:36:31Z","timestamp":1761060991000},"page":"7443","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Bridging the Gap: The Role of Non-Invasive Respiratory Supports in Weaning from Invasive Mechanical Ventilation"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Giulia","family":"Panzuti","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Alma Mater Studiorum, Department of Medical and Surgical Sciences (DIMEC), University of Bologna, 40126 Bologna, Italy"},{"name":"Respiratory and Critical Care Unit, IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero Universitaria di Bologna, 40138 Bologna, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lara","family":"Pisani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Alma Mater Studiorum, Department of Medical and Surgical Sciences (DIMEC), University of Bologna, 40126 Bologna, Italy"},{"name":"Respiratory and Critical Care Unit, IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero Universitaria di Bologna, 40138 Bologna, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8404-2085","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Stefano","family":"Nava","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Alma Mater Studiorum, Department of Medical and Surgical Sciences (DIMEC), University of Bologna, 40126 Bologna, Italy"},{"name":"Respiratory and Critical Care Unit, IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero Universitaria di Bologna, 40138 Bologna, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Ding, C., Zhang, Y., Yang, Z., Wang, J., Jin, A., Wang, W., Chen, R., and Zhan, S.
