3. Before titration is begun, the method for weaning
should be considered. Titration should be patient
specific, taking into consideration the patient's
primary illness, length of ventilatory support, and
other confounding medical conditions. Four
major modes of titration are commonly used:
1. SIMV
2. T-piece
3. CPAP / BiPAP
4. Pressure Support

4.  T-piece trials are usually used with resting periods
of assist control (AC) ventilation. The advantage to
this approach is that while weaning the patient is
doing all the work of breathing, and while on AC
the patient is allowed to rest.
 AC with T-piece trials may work best in the patient
with COPD or other chronic lung conditions that
cause respiratory muscle weakness.

5.  Synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation
(SIMV) is most useful in patients whom a rapid
change in intrathoracic pressure would cause
hemodynamic instability.
 Patients with cardiovascular disease can suffer
from congestive failure due to increased venous
return that occurs with rapid changes in thoracic
pressure.
 SIMV allows for gradual change from positive
pressure ventilation to spontaneous (negative)
pressure ventilation.

6.  Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and
bi-level positive airway pressure (BiPAP) are
effective in providing expiratory support to
maintain oxygenation and prevent alveolar
collapse during titration.
 They also maintain a level of positive intrathoracic
pressure that may be helpful in the cardiovascular
patient.
 BiPAP adds inspiratory support to CPAP, which may
be helpful in preventing respiratory muscle
fatigue.

7.  Pressure support (PS) provides inspiratory support
to help overcome airway resistance and decrease
respiratory muscle fatigue.
 PS may be helpful in retraining respiratory muscles
in a patient who has been on long-term
ventilation.

8.  Usually sedation is discontinued when weaning is
begun. This often results in a wide-awake,
frightened patient who is "bucking" the ventilator
and pulling on the tube.
 Most patients say that mechanical ventilation is
extremely uncomfortable, and moderately painful.
Therefore, it would make sense to manage the
patient's pain and discomfort for the best
outcome.
 Include sedation, pain control, and anxiety control
in modest amounts to keep the patient
comfortable but conscious during weaning.

9.  Once the previous planning has been done, Check
the patient's nutritional status.
 Assure adequate rest the night before weaning.
 Shortly before weaning, suction the patient and
allow several minutes for his oxygenation to
return to normal. Using 100% FiO2 during
suctioning helps to accomplish this

10.  Start the weaning trial at the appropriate time of
day.
 Mornings can be difficult for several reasons:
1. Preload may be higher in the morning
2. Respiratory function is worse in the morning
(circadian effects)
3. Interruptions are more frequent (rounds, shift
change, etc.)

11.  Determination of assessment parameters for continued
weaning (Go), cautious weaning (Caution), weaning
discontinuation (Stop) should be made before the trial is
begun.Some general guidelines are below:
1. Go:
 No respiratory distress
 Hemodynamically stable
2. Caution:
 Mild respiratory distress
 Hemodynamic changes
3. Stop:
 Respiratory distress, respiratory acidosis
 Vital sign changes: increased RR, HR, B/P

13.  The Cuff leak test during MV:
 Set a tidal Volume 10-12 ml/kg
 Measure the expired tidal volume
 Deflated the cuff
 Remeasure expired tidal volume (average of 4-6 breaths)
 The difference in the tidal volumes with the cuff inflated
and deflated is the leak
 A value of 130ml  85% sensitivity
95% specificity
Extubation Criteria

14.  Cough / Leak test in spontaneous breathing
 Tracheal cuff is deflated and monitored for the first 30
seconds for cough.
 Only cough associated with respiratory gurgling (heard
without a stethoscope and related to secretions) is taken
into account.
 The tube is then obstructed with a finger while the patient
continues to breath.
 The ability to breathe around the tube is assessed by the
auscultation of a respiratory flow.

meet pt peak respiratory rate

30.  Candidates for early tracheotomy:
 High levels of sedation
 Marginal respiratory mechanics
 Psychological benefit
 Mobility may assist physical therapy efforts.
30

31.  The benefits of tracheotomy include:
 improved patient comfort
 more effective airway suctioning
 decreased airway resistance
 enhanced patient mobility
 increased opportunities for articulated speech
 ability to eat orally, and
 more secure airway
31

32.  Patient at high risk of extubation failure who have
passed SBT, transition to NIV has reduced ICU stay
and short and long term mortality.
 Initial SBT be conducted with inspiratory pressure
augmentation rather than T piece or CPAP was
associated with lower ICU mortality.
 Cuff leak test should be used only in patient with
high risk of stridor.
 Patients who failed cuff leak test but are otherwise
ready for extubation, systemic steroid 4 hr before
extubation should be used.
