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 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.

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 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.

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

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.

Ventilatory Failure, Ventilator Support, and Ventilator Weaning

Comprehensive Physiology, 2012
AbstractThe 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 experienced by such patients.

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 Infants from Mechanical Ventilation

Clinics in Perinatology, 2012
Protracted mechanical ventilation is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in preterm infants and thus the earliest possible weaning from mechanical ventilation is desirable. Weaning protocols may be helpful in achieving more rapid reduction in support.

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 ...
