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 newborns from mechanical ventilation

Seminars in Neonatology, 2002
While there is a relative consensus as to whether mechanical ventilation should be initiated, the management of babies during recovery from respiratory failure remains largely subjective and is predominantly determined by institutional or individual practices or preferences.

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 ...

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 Smokers from Mechanical Ventilation

Critical Care Nursing Clinics of North America, 2006
Because smoking causes oxidant stress, inflammation, and protease-antiprotease imbalance of the lung tissue, smokers may have a lower threshold for initiation of mechanical ventilation. Critical care team members should realize that not only the pulmonary system is compromised but also other protective response mechanisms of the body.

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 ...

Difficult weaning from mechanical ventilation

Lung, 1990
Difficult weaning is fortunately a rare occurrence in mechanically ventilated patients in ICU. When faced with this problem, a vast number of factors must be carefully considered simultaneously: physiological adjustment, technical problems (tubing, circuit resistances, . . .) [13]. The most promising approach to difficult weaning to date centers on the

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 ...
