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
