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 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.

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.

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

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

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.
