Mechanical ventilation (MV) is a commonly required intervention for critically ill
patients that supports them through critical illness or injury but can also lead to
increased morbidity and mortality.
1
Spontaneous Awakening Trials (SATs) and Spontaneous Breathing Trials (SBTs) are evidence-based
assessments that when implemented in the care of patients who are mechanically ventilated
improves outcomes.
2
SATs and SBTs are considered standard of care in most hospitals and when implemented
together can shorten the duration of MV, decrease the intensive care unit (ICU) length
of stay (LOS), and reduce mortality risk.
