    The study enrolled 56 tracheostomized patients with acquired brain injury to evaluate forced vital capacity changes and decannulation timing.

  • 2

    Each 1-L increase in forced vital capacity change was associated with an 8.7-day reduction in time to successful decannulation.

  • 3

    A significant threshold effect was identified at a forced vital capacity change of 0.52 L, influencing decannulation timing.

  • 4

    The study highlights the need for objective physiological criteria in decannulation decisions for patients with acquired brain injury.

  • 5

    Interval forced vital capacity monitoring may assist in assessing decannulation readiness in tracheostomized patients undergoing rehabilitation.
