LETTER
Correction: Mechanical Ventilation Weaning Using Gastric pH
1 June 1994 | Volume 120 Issue 11 | Page 974
In a recent issue of Annals, a critical sentence was omitted from Mohsenifar and colleagues' response [1] to a series of letters to the Editor on weaning patients from mechanical ventilation using gastric pH. The last sentence of the last paragraph should read as follows: "Most of the commonly used tests have good sensitivity and negative predictive values, therefore, they predict true successes and true failures. Of importance, however, they have a high false-positive rate (even in Tobin's paper) which, unfortunately, results in failed extubation".
