To Wean or Not to Wean: A Practical Patient Focused Guide to Ventilator Weaning
Journal of Intensive Care Medicine, 2022Since 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.

The Weaning Index as Predictor of Weaning Success
Journal of Intensive Care Medicine, 2012Background. 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.

Pre-Weaning and Post-Weaning Nutrition
American Association of Bovine Practitioners Conference Proceedings, 1984Animal health is an important aspect of a preconditioning program; however, average daily gain and feed efficiency are extremely important if the program is to be profitable for the cow:calf producer. Not all calves are stressed to the same degree and as a result, not all calves will respond equally to a given treatment or nutritional level.

Ventilatory weaning: a case study of protracted weaning
Nursing in Critical Care, 2009AbstractBackground: Dysfunctional ventilatory weaning response (DVWR) is characterized by interrupted and prolonged weaning. This reflective analysis presents how using nursing diagnoses in critical care can raise awareness of, and provide strategies for, managing problems related to ventilatory weaning.Aim: To examine and reflect upon why one ...

Enteral feeding is a life-saver at the right time, but costs the NHS many thousands of pounds a year: £6500 in feeds and consumables alone for a 4-year-old child.1 Yet many children who can eat remain tube fed for lack of help in feed withdrawal. Wilken and colleagues2 describe a case series of children who took part in a two-week home-based tube ...

When I was 10 my mum had twin boys. I spent much of my childhood smelling of baby sick, feeding, winding, and changing my brothers’ nappies.

We were skint, so there were no processed baby foods.
