  1. Summarized is the performance of weaning indices recommended by the TF analysis [5]; no study was performed in pediatric patients. LR+, positive likelihood ratio; LR-, negative likelihood ratio; Pimax, maximal inspiratory pressure dring an occlusion test; ROP, rapid shallow breathing occlusion pressure; RRs, spontaneous respiratory rate; RSBp, paediatric rapid shallow breathing; TF, Task Force of the American College of Chest Physicians.
