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.

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.

Weaning from Ventilation

2021
Mechanical ventilation (MV) is a life-saving strategy for critically ill patients, while unnecessarily prolonged ventilation is also associated with risks of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), respiratory muscle weakness, prolonged duration of MV, and increase of hospital mortality [1].

Weaning from mechanical ventilation

Journal of Critical Care, 1999
For most mechanically ventilated patients, weaning can be accomplished quickly and easily. However, there is a smaller group of ventilated patients who fail to wean and remain ventilator-dependent. These patients account for a significant amount of health care costs and pose a great challenge for clinicians.

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.

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.

Weaning from Mechanical Ventilation

The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 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.
