Prediction of the Spontaneous Breathing Test Success Using Biosignal and Biomarker in Critical Care Unit by a Machine Learning Approach

Context: Several authors have been interested in applying Artificial Intelligence (AI) to medicine, using various Machine Learning (ML) techniques: managing septic shock, predicting renal failure... \[1, 2\] AI has an important place in decision support for clinicians \[3\]. The weaning period is a really important time in the management of a patient on mechanical ventilation and can take up to half of the time spent in intensive care unit. The first weaning attempt is unsuccessful in 20% of patients However, mortality can be as high as 38% in patients with the most difficult weaning \[4\]. Only a few studies have looked at the application of machine learning in this area, and only one has looked at the use of biosignals (cardiac rate, ECG, ventilatory parameters…) \[5-7\]. To improve morbidity, mortality and reduce length of stay, it is essential to be able to predict the success of th
