A Randomized Trial of the Spontaneous Breathing Trial to Extubate Very Low Birthweight Infants

The objective of this study is to determine whether use of the spontaneous breathing trial

- Severe congenital malformations

- Need to remain intubated for other reasons (i.e. having surgery)

- Has met SBT criteria on previous calendar day (after 48 hrs of ventilation, PIP≤18,
PEEP≤6, FiO2≤40%, Rate≤30, PS≤8)
