To Wean or Not to Wean: A Practical Patient Focused Guide to Ventilator Weaning

Journal of Intensive Care Medicine, 2022
Since the inception of critical care medicine and artificial ventilation, literature and research on weaning has transformed daily patient care in intensive care units (ICU). As our knowledge of mechanical ventilation (MV) improved, so did the need to study patient-ventilator interactions and weaning predictors. Randomized trials have evaluated the use

The Weaning Index as Predictor of Weaning Success

Journal of Intensive Care Medicine, 2012
Background. The quest to obtain an accurate way to predict success when weaning a patient from mechanical ventilation continues. The established parameters such as tidal volume (Vt), respiratory rate (f), negative inspiratory force (NIF), vital capacity (VC), and minute ventilation (V) have not predicted weaning accurately.

Tracheostomy and Weaning

Respiratory Care, 2005
No hypothesis relating to respiratory care in the intensive care unit has proved more difficult to study in an objective fashion than the commonly held belief that tracheostomy hastens weaning from ventilatory support. Tracheostomy might facilitate weaning by reducing dead space and decreasing airway resistance, by improving secretion clearance, by ...
