Overview
Brief Summary
This study aims to assess whether the electrical signal of the diaphragm (diaphragm electromyogram) and the ratio of that to tidal volume (amount of air breathed in and out of the lungs) can predict which infants will be successfully extubated (have the breathing tube removed without needing it replaced.)
