Weaning from prolonged mechanical ventilation

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 2001
The development of weaning failure and need for PMV is multifactorial in origin, involving disorders of pulmonary mechanics and complications associated with critical illness. The underlying disease process is clearly important when discussing mechanisms of ventilator dependence; interventions therefore must be tailored to individual patients ...

Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation and Tracheostomy in the Elderly

AACN Clinical Issues: Advanced Practice in Acute and Critical Care, 2002
Mechanical ventilation is a life-sustaining technology used with increasing frequency in the elderly population. Prolonged mechanical ventilation is associated with high morbidity, mortality, and poor functional status. Care of these complex patients requires a coordinated multidisciplinary approach to optimize outcome.

Outcomes of prolonged mechanical ventilation

Current Opinion in Critical Care, 2006
Patients requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation consume a disproportionate amount of healthcare resources and clinician time. Measurement and knowledge of their outcomes will guide efforts to improve their care.The number of patients requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation after acute illness is increasing.

Liberation from prolonged mechanical ventilation

Critical Care Clinics, 2002
After weaning from PMV, patients are usually far from ready to resume normal activities. A prolonged recovery period after catastrophic illness is the rule, with multidisciplinary rehabilitation and discharge planning efforts. Following such efforts, reports of success of restorative care are institutional and population specific. That all PMV patients

Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation in Children

Pediatric Clinics of North America, 1994
Improvements in neonatal and pediatric intensive care have produced a growing population of children dependent on mechanical ventilation for survival. Long-term mechanical ventilation has become a realistic alternative to death from progressive respiratory failure for many children with chronic respiratory illness.
