Weaning from mechanical ventilation [PDF]
Clinical Techniques in Small Animal Practice, 2000 Patients that require positive pressure ventilation to maintain sufficient alveolar ventilation or pulmonary gas exchange may eventually reach a point in the course of their care wherein mechanical ventilation is no longer necessary. This process of transferring the work of breathing from the ventilator back to the patient is referred to as ventilator ...

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]
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
