Study Summary

In this study, we want to compare two different kinds of artificial ventilation to see if one encourages faster weaning from breathing support and if one provides better sleep quality. These artificial ventilation types are: 1. Pressure support ventilation; the standard ventilation that we use for the patients in the Respiratory Acute Care Unit. Pressure support ventilation ventilators use constant air pressure to assist patients with their breathing. 2. Proportional assist ventilation; a newer way of helping people with their breathing. The air pressure provided by proportional assist ventilation ventilators varies with the size of the breath that a person takes.
