Weaning from VV for acute respiratory failure: critical step in the recovery of patients with severe ! Here, review summarizing current understanding & emerging data:
📋 protocolized weaning in critical care
🫁 approach to weaning
🔍 emerging evidence for protocolized weaning
🫁 physiologic predictors of successful weaning
🚧 challenges
🩺 approach to the difficult-to-wean patient
Optimal strategy for weaning remains uncertain: structured but individualized protocols, careful physiologic monitoring (of markers such as Vt, diaphragm function/respiratory effort, CO2 clearance), (and patience) may improve outcomes, even in patients requiring extended runs. Premature decisions about irreversibility of lung injury should be avoided.
