Ventilators and Weaning Modes

Respiratory Care Clinics of North America, 2000
Although new ventilator modes have become available to facilitate weaning, there is little evidence that these have improved weaning outcomes. Knowledge based computer weaning systems have also been described, but these are in their infancy, and their role is unclear.

Ventilator Weaning

DeckerMed Transitional Year Weekly Curriculum™, 2018
Ventilator weaning/liberation is a complex process that requires focus on a patient’s respiratory mechanics, strength, awareness, airway patency, and secretions while also keeping in mind a patient’s overall clinical status and critical illness. The recommendations in the chapter are based on evidence-based medicine when available.

Weaning from mechanical ventilation

The Journal of Maternal-Fetal & Neonatal Medicine, 2011
Mechanical ventilation is often required by very preterm infants with respiratory failure, even if invasive respiratory support is related to lung injury and adverse neurologic outcomes. The exposure to mechanical ventilation should be therefore limited.

Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation and Weaning

International Anesthesiology Clinics, 1980
Oxygen, PEEP, and mechanical ventilatory therapy should be administered to patients in varying amounts and should be removed gradually and independently. The method of determining optimal PEEP, oxygen, and ventilation is not unlike that recommended for many other therapies.

Weaning From Mechanical Ventilation

International Anesthesiology Clinics, 1997
Use of mechanical ventilation is associated with several major complications despite its lifesaving potential. Timely discontinuation of mechanical ventilation is critical to control of duration of intensive care unit stay and reduction of complications associated with mechanical ventilation.

Weaning from mechanical ventilation

Current Opinion in Anaesthesiology, 2012
Liberation from mechanical ventilation is a defining moment for intubated patients, and thus a critical clinical decision. Extubating the patient too early exposes the patient to extubation failure and reintubation. Waiting too long increases the complications of prolonged intubation.

Weaning Patients from the Ventilator

New England Journal of Medicine, 2012
After the underlying cause of respiratory failure in critically ill patients has been addressed, the priority is to minimize the duration of mechanical ventilation. This review outlines strategies and interventions to reduce this duration.

Ventilator Weaning and Extubation

Critical Care Clinics
Increasing evidence supports specific approaches to liberate patients from invasive ventilation including the use of liberation protocols, inspiratory assistance during spontaneous breathing trials (SBTs), early extubation of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease to noninvasive ventilation, and prophylactic use of noninvasive support ...

Weaning from Mechanical Ventilation

Surgical Clinics of North America, 1991
An understanding of respiratory physiology is helpful when weaning a patient from mechanical ventilation. Various criteria are available that assess pulmonary function and the patient's ability to breathe spontaneously. The majority of patients are weaned without difficulty, but a small percentage will require careful evaluation.
