To present a physiological algorithmic approach to weaning of invasive ventilation in the neonatal intensive care, focusing mainly on the preterm infant. Review of literature, consensus guidelines, expert commentaries and practice guidelines from individual units. Weaning of ventilation for extubation in the neonatal population must follow certain criteria but needs individualising based on disease process, timeline and physiology. Algorithms based on scenarios and modes of ventilation used might aid the clinician on the floor for decision-making process.
