Evaluation of a Systematic Approach to Weaning From Mechanical Ventilation

Prolongation of mechanical ventilation poses serious personal and financial threats to healthcare consumers.

The investigators objectives are create and implement an multidisciplinary evidenced-based ventilator-weaning protocol to assess whether a systematic approach compared with the physician's judgment only decreases time spent on the ventilator, complications of mechanical ventilation and length of stay in critical care unit.
