Evidence-based ventilator weaning and discontinuation.
Ventilator management of a patient who is recovering from acute respiratory failure must balance competing objectives. Discontinuing mechanical ventilation and removing the artificial airway as soon as possible reduces the risk of ventilator-induced lung injury, nosocomial pneumonia, airway trauma from the endotracheal tube, and unnecessary sedation, but premature ventilator-discontinuation or ...
متن کاملLarge scale implementation of a respiratory therapist-driven protocol for ventilator weaning.
We prospectively investigated the large-scale implementation of a respiratory-therapist-driven protocol (TDP) that included 117 respiratory care practitioners (RCPs) managing 1,067 patients with respiratory failure over 9,048 patient days of mechanical ventilation. During a 12-mo period, we reintroduced a previously validated protocol that included a daily screen (DS) coupled with spontaneous b...
متن کاملA Fuzzy Frame-Based Knowledge Representation Formalism
This paper describes a formalism for representing imprecise knowledge which combines traditional frame-based formalisms with fuzzy logic and fuzzy IF-THEN rules. Inference in this formalism is based on unification and the calculus of fuzzy IF-THEN rules, and lends itself to an efficient implementation.
متن کاملA TESLA-based mutual authentication protocol for GSM networks
The widespread use of wireless cellular networks has made security an ever increasing concern. GSM is the most popular wireless cellular standard, but security is an issue. The most critical weakness in the GSM protocol is the use of one-way entity authentication, i.e., only the mobile station is authenticated by the network. This creates many security problems including vulnerability against m...
متن کاملWeaning patients from the ventilator.
Copyright © 2012 Massachusetts Medical Society. In the United States, almost 800,000 patients who are hospitalized each year require mechanical ventilation.1 This estimate excludes neonates, and there is little doubt that mechanical ventilation will be increasingly used as the number of patients 65 years of age or older continues to increase.2,3 The majority of patients who receive mechanical v...
