"Coordinating Spontaneous Breathing and Spontaneous Awakening" Lecturer: Richard Kallet, MS, RRT, FAARC. Over two decades of data have demonstrated that daily spontaneous breathing trials represent the optimum method for liberating the patient from ventilation. Coordinating the SBT with a spontaneous awakening trial maximizes success and speeds ventilator termination. This lecture will discuss coordination by respiratory care and nursing to improve outcomes. Item #CT20173
