World PICU Awareness Week '24 aims to shine a spotlight on the tireless efforts and innovative practices implemented in the PICU, aiming for better patient outcomes and enhanced quality of life. This series of podcasts focuses on the multifaceted nature of the ICU Liberation Bundle, understanding the importance of pain control, optimizing nutrition, and ensuring safe and timely liberation from mechanical ventilation. Through the six vital elements, we unite to advocate for the well-being and recovery of our most vulnerable patients.

This episode is centered around the B Element: Both Spontaneous Awakening Trials (SATs) and Spontaneous Breathing Trials (SBTs).
