weaning

  1. Patient is able to breath spontaneously for a defined period of time =
    Success
  2. Patient must return to mechanical ventilation before the defined period of time has ended =
    Failure
  3. How many % of pt's cannot be weaned off mech vent on the first attempt?
    50%
  4. Weaning is successful if pt stays off mech vent for how many hours?
    24 hrs
  5. Wean failure is based on: (9)
    • abgs
    • diaphoresis
    • inc rr
    • accessory muscle use
    • in hr
    • cardiac arrythmias
    • inc/dec bp
    • apnea
    • unresponsiveness
  6. Impact failure increased stress on: (4)
    • pt psychologically & emotionally

    • hosp resources
    • financial resources
  7. Weaning conditions, 2 questions to ask prior to weaning:
