title: [Weaning from respirators via biphasic positive airway pressure].
abstract: Weaning procedures during the course of intermittent positive pressure ventilation are often difficult. A case is presented in which biphasic positive airway pressure (BiPAP) seemed to be superior to other well known ventilator weaning regimens. The course of the weaning procedure is described.
