Guillain-Barré syndrome and myasthenia gravis are two neuromuscular diseases that are commonly managed in ICUs that may require different weaning protocols. To date, no study has compared weaning modalities from mechanical ventilation in patients with these two diseases. Our objective was to assess and compare for ventilator weaning modalities between patients mechanically ventilated for Guillain-Barré syndrome or for myasthenia gravis in a large-scale multicenter study.
