Introduction
Ventilatory support sustains life but is not curative
Has many complications and hazards Should be withdrawn expeditiously All patients should be evaluated on a daily
basis for their ability to wean from ventilatory support
Balance desire for early extubation with its exposure to the risks of reintubation.

Methods of Discontinuing Ventilation
Three main methods1. Spontaneous breathing trials (SBT)
2. SIMV
3. PSV Novel modes with no data to support
VSV = volume support ventilation, MMV= mandatory minute volume ventilation, ATC = automatic tube compensation, PAV = proportional assist ventilation
**Systematic review: 1 SBT per day has shown best results

Discontinuing Ventilatory Support
In general, patients being considered for removal from ventilatory support fall into one of four categories: 1. removal is quick and routine, normally the vast
majority of patients
2. need a more systematic approach, about 15 to 20% of ventilated patients
3. require days to weeks to wean, usually less than 5% of patients
4. ventilator-dependent or “unweanable” patients, less than 1% of patients
Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2003, 1999, 1995, 1990, 1982, 1977, 1973, 1969 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. 10
Global Criteria for Discontinuing Ventilatory Support
(cont.) Success is tied to
Ventilatory work load versus capacity Oxygenation status Cardiovascular status Psychological factors
Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2003, 1999, 1995, 1990, 1982, 1977, 1973, 1969 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. 11
Most Important Criteria
1. Reversal of disease state that necessitated ventilatory support
2. Oxygenation status adequate on <0.5 FIO2
3. Medically and hemodynamically stable4. Patient can breathe spontaneously
If the above are all true, then perform a formal evaluation for extubation.

66 Measurements: 8 Most Consistently Predictive
Spontaneous rate 6 to 30 beats/min Spontaneous VT >5 ml/kg f/VT (RSBI) – most predictive <105 Minute ventilation <10 L/min MIP <20 to 30 mm Hg
P0.1 <6 cm H2O
P0.1/MIP <0.3
CROP (CDyn, f, O2, PImax) >13
* No single index has high predictive power, so it is important to consider the total picture.

Which of the following predictive value is consistent with a patient weaning successfully?
A.Spontaneous rate 40 beats/min
B.Spontaneous VT 4 mL/kg
C.f/VT (RSBI) 85
D.MIP –18 mm Hg

Preparing the Patient
Patient should be rested and stable Maximize bronchodilator and anti-
inflammatory medications as well as bronchial hygiene
Communicate well with patient so as to relieve/minimize anxiety
Optimize nutrition, acid/base status, fluid balance, and oxygenation
Minimize sedation

Rapid Ventilator Discontinuance
Patients that are likely to wean rapidly Presenting problem corrected in 72 hours Good weaning parameters Good results in SBT of 30 to 120 minutes
If the above criteria are met, most patients can be removed from ventilatory support If the patient can protect his or her airway, then
extubate at this time

Progressive Weaning of Ventilatory Support
Patients likely to need longer weaning period Ventilated longer then 72 hours Marginal: oxygen, ventilatory, cardiovascular, or
medical status
Most common methods of weaning: SBT alternating with rest periods on
• A/C, SIMV, or significant levels of PSV
Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2003, 1999, 1995, 1990, 1982, 1977, 1973, 1969 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. 17
Progressive Weaning: SBT
T-tube trial 5 to 30 minutes SBT 1 to 4 hours of rest on A/C, SIMV, or high PSV Gradually, SBT times increase while rest periods
diminish Patients rested at night Alternate method is 1 SBT/day and then rest.
This can also be done on the ventilator in CPAP mode with PSV or ATC.

Initial Screening SBT
Perform 2–3 minute SBT. If 2 out of 3 of the criteria below are met, start formal wean VT >5 ml/kg
RR <30–35 beats/min MIP-a.k.a (NIF) <20 cm H2O
Alternate: adequate cough, no vasopressors P/F ratio >200 PEEP 5 f/VT <105

SBT Termination
Termination occurs if any of these criteria met Agitation, anxiety, diaphoresis, altered mental
state Respiratory rate > 30 or 35 beats/min SpO2 <90%
20% change in HR or HR > 120 to 140 beats/min Systolic BP > 180 mm Hg or < 90 mm Hg

Weaning With SIMV
Faster weans claimed but contrary to evidence
Ease of use is primary reason for use Evidence that at 50% of full ventilatory
support, patient WOB approximates that on CPAP
In addition, demand flow SIMV imposes considerable WOB Modern ventilators minimize this effect.

Support set below required level; patient makes up the difference.
Once precipitating event corrects, support is rapidly reduced.
Support is typically reduced in increments of 2 breaths per minute until spontaneous ventilation is achieved

All of the following are TRUE about SIMV weaning except:
A.Faster weans claims are supported by evidence
B.Ease of use is primary reason for use
C.Evidence that at 50% of full ventilatory support, patient WOB approximates that on CPAP
D.Demand flow SIMV imposes considerable WOB

PSV Weaning
Level is set to PSVmax 6 to 10 ml/kg. On resolution of precipitating event
PSV reduced increments 2 to 4 cm H2O, usually 1
to 2 times per day Rested at nights 2 strategies for discontinuance of PSV:
• Patient tolerates PSV of 5 – 8 cm H2O with no distress• Patient tolerates CPAP with no PSV without distress

Monitoring During Weaning
PaCO2 best index of adequacy of ventilation but only tied to clinical data PaCO2 40 mm Hg with f/VT of 250 shows impending
ventilatory failure. PaCO2 40 mm Hg with f/VT of 40 shows ability to
breathe spontaneously. SpO2 monitor continuously Cardiovascular status

Extubation
Weaning and extubation separate decisions Extubation requires
Ability to protect airway • Gag
• Effective cough
Airway patency• Minimal edema
• Positive “cuff-leak” > 12% volume loss
Adequate pulmonary hygiene
Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2003, 1999, 1995, 1990, 1982, 1977, 1973, 1969 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. 26
All of the following are required for extubation, except:
A.Maximal edema
B.Patients ability to protect airway
C.Airway patency
D.Adequate pulmonary hygiene
Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2003, 1999, 1995, 1990, 1982, 1977, 1973, 1969 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. 27
Postextubation Stridor
Occurs in 2% to 16% of ICU patients Can result in complete airway obstruction Management includes
Cool aerosol mist with oxygen via mask Nebulized racemic epinephrine (0.5 ml 2.25%) Nebulized 1 mg in 4 ml NS dexamethasone HeliOx 60%/40%

Failure of Extubation
Up to 25% of patients require MV again Half of patients with distress following MV
discontinuance develop marked hypercapnia Myocardial ischemia associated with failed
weaning attempts Failed weans may be undiagnosed NMD or
psychological dependence Most common reason: inadequate ventilatory
capability which cannot meet ventilatory demand
Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2003, 1999, 1995, 1990, 1982, 1977, 1973, 1969 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. 29
Chronically Ventilator-Dependent Patients
Prolonged MV occurs in 3% to 7% of ventilated patients, while <1% become dependent
Definition: ventilator dependency remains following 3 months of weaning attempts
Special long-term acute care facilities specialize in weaning these patients
Once dependency established, goal is to restore highest level of independence

Terminal Weaning
Refers to weaning in the face of catastrophic and irreversible illness
Weaning occurs despite likely result of patient death
Decision made by patient and/or family in consultation with physician. Must meet ethical and legal guidelines
May be due to advanced directives, current patient decision, or very poor prognosis
