Abstract
Weaning of neonates from assisted ventilation or continous positive pressure breathing is a complex process. Unfortunately, at present we lack sensitive indices to measure the infant's ability to sustain spontaneous breathing. In the absence of such criteria we should rely heavily on clinical findings correlated with available biochemical data. Good clinical acumen and experience is necessary for successful weaning.Keywords
