Nutritional support for successful weaning in patients undergoing prolonged mechanical ventilation
Successful weaning from ventilators not only improves the quality of life of patients, but also reduces medical expenses. The aim of this study was to explore the association between nutritional provision and successful ventilator weaning.

Soluble triggering receptor on myeloid cells-1 is expressed in the course of non-infectious inflammation after traumatic lung contusion : a prospective cohort study [PDF]
Introduction: The triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (TREM-1) is known to be expressed during bacterial infections. We investigated whether TREM-1 is also expressed in non-infectious inflammation following traumatic lung contusion. Methods:

Weaning from mechanical ventilation
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 ...
