==Weaning==
{{ACM}}
===Overview===
Weaning of mechanical ventilator is gradual withdrawal of
ventilatory support through utilization of a variety of ventilator modes,
periods of total spontaneous ventilation, and appropriate rest periods for
muscle unloading. Discontinuation of mechanical ventilation should occur as
soon as the patient is able to protect his/her airway and sustain a
physiologically-competent minute ventilation while important indicators of
disease show resolution.
The plan of weaning is not static but requires
continual reassessment so that the particular ventilatory needs of the patient
are met while the disease process is corrected. Bedside measures of
cardiopulmonary function aid in the assessment of weaning fitness; these
should not take the place of careful bedside observation and "hands-on" care,
however. Patients should not be allowed to fatigue during weaning trials, and
interventions to ensure an adequate nutritional status and good bronchial
hygiene should be applied.


===Criteria for Spontaneous Breathing Trial (SBT)===
Trials of spontaneous breathing assess a patient’s ability to breathe while receiving
minimal or no respiratory support. To accomplish this, ventilators are switched
from full respiratory support modes such as volume-assist control or pressure
control to ventilatory modes such as pressure support, continuous positive airway
pressure (CPAP), or ventilation with a T-piece (in which there is no positive endexpiratory
pressure). Ideally, a trial of spontaneous breathing is initiated while the
patient is awake and not receiving sedative infusions.
The typical readiness criteria for SBT are: 
*Respiratory Criteria
#PaO2>= '''60 mm hg''' ( FiO2<40-50,PEEP<5-8cm H2O)
#PaCo2 normal or base line
#the Patient able to initiate inspiratory effort
*Cardiovascular Criteria
#No evidence of myocardial ischemia
#HR<140/min
#BP normal without vasopressor or minimal vasopressor support 
#Adequate mental status :''arousable/GCS.13''
*Absence of correctable comorbid conditions
#Patient is afebrile
#No significant electrolytes abnormalities


===Patient who will tolerate Weaning===
For a spontaneous-breathing trial to be successful, a patient must breathe spontaneously
with little or no ventilator support for at least 30 minutes '''without any of
the following:'''


# respiratory rate>35 breaths/min for more than 5 minutes
[[File:Captura de Pantalla 2024-05-18 a la(s) 9.33.11 p.m..png]]
#an oxygen saturation <90%
#heart rate >140 beats per minute
#a sustained change in the heart rate of 20%
#systolic blood pressure >180 mm Hg or <90 mm Hg
#increased anxiety or diaphoresis
 
===Rapid shallow breathing index===
'''DEFINITION''' — The rapid shallow breathing index (RSBI) is the ratio of respiratory frequency to tidal volume (f/VT). As an example, a patient who has a respiratory rate of 25 breaths/min and a tidal volume of 250 mL/breath has an RSBI of (25 breaths/min)/(.25 L) = 100 breaths/min/L.
Patients who cannot tolerate independent breathing tend to breathe rapidly (high frequency) and shallowly (low tidal volume). Thus, they generally have a high RSBI.
• The RSBI was originally measured using a hand-held spirometer attached to the endotracheal tube while a patient breathed room air for one minute without any ventilator assistance.
 
===maximum inspiratory pressure===
It 's used as —Evaluation of diaphragm and other muscles of inspiration , —Normal values usually are (-90 to -120 cm H2O) —Threshold -20 cmH2O —Identifying Pts who will not tolerate SBT —Below threshold(less negative than -20)no successful weaning —Above threshold(more negative than -20)40% did not wean
