Weaning from Mechanical Ventilation [PDF]
Critical Care Clinics, 2007 Approximately 20% of all mechanically ventilated patients fail their first attempt to wean. Prolonged mechanical ventilation increases morbidity, mortality, and costs. No single weaning parameter predicts patient ability to wean. Weaning studies suggest that daily trials of spontaneous breathing for appropriate patients assured by standing protocol and

Weaning from mechanical ventilation [PDF]
European Respiratory Journal, 1996 Weaning from mechanical ventilation is a period of transition from total ventilatory support to spontaneous breathing. It represents a relevant clinical problem because as many as 25% of intubated and mechanically-ventilated critically ill patients will need a progressive withdrawal from artificial ventilatory support. From a clinical standpoint, it is

Liver Transplantation, EarlyView., 2022 Abstract Hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) is associated with increased waitlist mortality in liver transplantation (LT) candidates. Children with HPS are granted Model for End‐Stage Liver Disease (MELD)/Pediatric End‐Stage Liver Disease (PELD) exception points for waitlist prioritization in the United States based on criterion developed for adults.

Weaning from mechanical ventilation [PDF]
Clinical Medicine, 2005 ~~ Mechanical ventilation (MV) is the major life-support modality during respiratory failure. Once the illness that precipitated respiratory failure has resolved, MV can be dis~ontinued.~~ Practically, resolution of the lung injury that caused respiratory failure, and restoration of respiratory pump function may be slow, and are often incomplete at the

An Overview of the Predictor Standard Tools for Patient Weaning from Mechanical Ventilation
Electronic Physician, 2016 Most patients staying in the intensive care unit (ICU) require respiratory support through a ventilator. Since prolonged mechanical ventilation and weaning from the ventilator without criteria or at the inappropriate time can result in many ...

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.
