[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do we all know what does it take to wean the person of a ventilator? Germans did some studies..

CONCLUSIONS: 
Weaning was successful in two thirds of patients who had been on prolonged mechanical ventilation and had then been transferred to weaning facilities staffed by chest physicians. These centres effectively improved the quality of care of patients on prolonged mechanical ventilation by avoiding long-term invasive ventilation and sparing cost-intensive ICU resources. The problems that still exist may be overcome by a network of weaning facilities.

There are many studies, not just a few and not just from Germany, about how to wean patients from ventilators.  Having patients in ARDS on ventilators, and needing to make plans to wean them is not a new thing.  What's new with COVID is the numbers.  [/quote]
