Abstract Introduction The aim of the study was to determine whether the use of a nurses protocol-directed weaning procedure based on the French intensive care society SRLF consensus recommendations was associated with reductions in the duration of mechanical ventilation and intensive care unit ICU length of stay in patients requiring more than 48 hours of mechanical ventilation. Methods This prospective study was conducted in a university hospital ICU from January 2002 through to February 2003. A total of 104 patients who had been ventilated for more than 48 hours and were weaned from mechanical ventilation using a nurses protocol-directed procedure cases were compared with a 1 1 matched historical control group who underwent conventional physician-directed weaning between 1999 and 2001 .
