Impact of Inspiratory Muscle Training on Weaning Parameters in Prolonged Ventilator-Dependent Patients: A Preliminary Study

SAGE Open Nursing, 2022
Introduction Patients require prolonged mechanical ventilation to overcome respiratory failure in the chronic respiratory care ward; however, how to facilitate ventilator weaning using a nurse-led strategy is limited.

German hospital capacities for prolonged mechanical ventilator weaning in neurorehabilitation - results of a representative survey. [PDF]

Neurol Res Pract, 2020
A brief survey among members of the German Neurorehabilitation Society aimed to document the hospital capacities (“beds”) for prolonged weaning from a mechanical ventilator for patients with neuro-disabilities that require simultaneous multi-professional

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 ...

A Simple Algorithm Using Ventilator Parameters to Predict Successfully Rapid Weaning Program in Cardiac Intensive Care Unit Patients

Journal of Personalized Medicine, 2022
Background: Ventilator weaning is one of the most significant challenges in the intensive care unit (ICU). Approximately 30% of patients fail to wean, resulting in prolonged use of ventilators and increased mortality.

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.

The implausibility of ‘usual care’ in an open system: sedation and weaning practices in Paediatric Intensive Care Units (PICUs) in the United Kingdom (UK) [PDF]

, 2015
Background: The power of the randomised controlled trial depends upon its capacity to operate in a closed system whereby the intervention is the only causal force acting upon the experimental group and absent in the control group, permitting a valid ...

Management of Mechanical Ventilation in Decompensated Heart Failure. [PDF]

, 2016
Mechanical ventilation (MV) is a life-saving intervention for respiratory failure, including decompensated congestive heart failure. MV can reduce ventricular preload and afterload, decrease extra-vascular lung water, and decrease the work of breathing ...

Mechanical ventilation in the ICU- is there a gap between the time available and time used for nurse-led weaning?

Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine, 2008
Background Mechanical ventilation (MV) is a key component in the care of critically ill and injured patients. Weaning from MV constitutes a major challenge in intensive care units (ICUs).
