Popis: Extubation readiness testing (ERT) is often performed in children with congenital heart disease prior to liberation from mechanical ventilation. The ideal ERT method in this population is unknown. We recently changed our ERT method from variable (10, 8, or 6 cm HWe studied 2 temporally distinct cohorts, one where ERT was conducted with variable PS and another using PS fixed at 5 cm HWe included 320 subjects, 186 in the variable PS group and 152 in fixed PS group. In unadjusted analysis, median time to first extubation was longer in the fixed PS group compared to the variable PS group (4.1 [2.0-7.1] d vs 3.1 [1.1-5.9] d,The use of a fixed PS of 5 cm H
