Description
Rabia Asif and colleagues compare three ways of weaning preterm infants from nasal breathing support in a randomized trial in Karachi, Pakistan. Their 2026 study enrols babies with respiratory distress syndrome.
Seventy-five infants received sudden weaning, gradual weaning with time off support, or pressure weaning. Overall weaning succeeded in about ninety-two percent of cases. Success rates did not differ significantly among strategies. Timing of weaning start and successful weaning day did correlate with strategy, and total support duration differed between groups. Hospital stay was shortest in the sudden weaning group, at about eight and a half days on average.
