WEANING FROM MECHANICAL VENTILATION

Critical Care Clinics, 1998
For the ventilator-dependent patient, weaning should be accomplished by withdrawing support safely, efficaciously, and efficiently. Success depends largely on physiologic determinants of respiratory system function, avoidance of ventilator-associated complications, and attention to patient readiness.

Weaning from Mechanical Ventilation

Critical Care Clinics, 1990
Although the majority of patients can be easily weaned from mechanical ventilation, a substantial minority pose considerable difficulty. These patients account for a disproportionate amount of health care costs, and they pose enormous clinical, economic, and ethical problems.

Weaning from Mechanical Ventilation

Respiratory Care, 2002
Invasive mechanical ventilation can be lifesaving for patients with acute respiratory failure, but numerous complications have been identified. Therefore, once clinical improvement has occurred, emphasis is placed on quickly weaning (ie, liberating) the patient from mechanical ventilation.

Modes to Facilitate Ventilator Weaning

Respiratory Care, 2012
Weaning comprises 40 percent of the duration of mechanical ventilation. Protocols to reduce weaning time and to identify candidates at the earliest possible moment have been introduced to reduce complications and costs. Increased demand for mechanical ventilation, an increase in the number of patients requiring prolonged ventilation, and resource ...

Weaning from Mechanical Ventilation

Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2014
For many critically ill patients admitted to an intensive care unit, the insertion of an endotracheal tube and the initiation of mechanical ventilation (MV) can be lifesaving procedures. Subsequent patient care often requires intensivists to manage the complex interaction of multiple failing organ systems.

Ventilatory Failure, Ventilator Support, and Ventilator Weaning

Comprehensive Physiology, 2012
Abstract The development of acute ventilatory failure represents an inability of the respiratory control system to maintain a level of respiratory motor output to cope with the metabolic demands of the body. The level of respiratory motor output is also the main determinant of the degree of respiratory distress ...

Ventilator Modes Used in Weaning

Chest, 2001
Weaning techniques include spontaneous breathing trials (SBTs), pressure-support ventilation (PSV), and synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation (SIMV). SBTs can be conducted using one of several approaches, including T-piece breathing, low-level continuous positive airway pressure, low-level PSV, or setting the ventilator to flow-triggering ...

Weaning Mechanical Ventilation

2019
Invasive mechanical ventilation is a fundamental strategy to support the respiratory function when the patient can’t bear all the work of breathing required by his clinical condition [1, 2]. Even if it represents a life-saving treatment, mechanical ventilation is associated to many complications some of which can be life-threatening: ventilator ...

[Ventilator weaning after long-term ventilation--the concept of a regional ventilator weaning center].

Anasthesiologie, Intensivmedizin, Notfallmedizin, Schmerztherapie : AINS, 1996
Long-term mechanical ventilation implies a significant number of weaning failures. The basis of this unweanability is chronic fatigue of the inspiratory muscles which is due to depletion of energy store (e.g. glycogen). Considering this pathophysiological principle, the decisive therapeutic option during weaning from long-term mechanical ventilation ...
