Opis

Critically ill patients have life-threatening illnesses requiring a range of high-level interventions and responses to that treatment can be unpredictable. Among these patients are the mechanically ventilated patients. To depend on mechanical ventilation after critical illness is a challenge to both the patient and the critical care nurses; so the intensive care unit (ICU) nurse must use a holistic approach while providing nursing care for mechanically ventilated patients. As well, the caring team should always plan for weaning the patient from mechanical ventilation. Regarding the mechanical ventilation which used to support the respiratory system, the ICU nurse should assess the factors which influence the weaning process and also the prognosis or patient's outcomes.
