Weaning transition is often associated with the occurrence of post-weaning diarrhoea syndrome (PWDS). The reduction dietary crude protein (CP) has been intensively used as a strategy for con...

BACKGROUND Noninvasive ventilation has been studied as a means of reducing complications among patients being weaned from invasive mechanical ventilation. We sought to summarize evidence comparing noninvasive and invasive weaning and their effects on mortality. METHODS We identified relevant randomized and quasirandomized trials through searches of databases, conference proceedings and grey l...

BACKGROUND At present, air way support plays pivotal role in management of patients in the ICU (Intensive Care Unit) and also RCU (Respiratory Care Unit). Ventilator weaning is an important step in the care of ICU and RCU patients. It is the gradual removal of mechanical ventilatory support. Different predictors are used for initiation of weaning. This study was designed to investigate the rapi...

(Co)variance components and genetic parameters were estimated for body weights of a Romosinuano herd located in Sinú Valley, Cordoba, Colombia. Restricted maximum likelihood methods were used with a univariate animal model for birth weight, weaning weight (270 days), 16-month weight (480 days), weaning daily gain, and post-weaning daily gain. Models included random animal direct and maternal ge...

BACKGROUND AND AIM Studies on weaning strategies have yielded conflicting results regarding the superiority of different methods. The aim of this RCT was to compare the efficacy of gradual pressure support (PS) reduction without an initial spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) with PS-supported SBT. METHODS Patients mechanically ventilated for >24h were randomized to weaning by gradual reduction ...

A recent international consensus conference1 published in 2007 proposed to categorize ventilated patients into 3 groups, based on the difficulty and duration of the weaning process: “simple weaning” (group 1) includes patients who succeed the first weaning trial and are extubated without difficulty, “difficult weaning” (group 2) includes patients who fail the first weaning trial and require up ...

Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to study the changes fecal bcteria calves before and after weaning. Among 365 Holstein born in 2021, 8 with similar body weight were selected weaning (60 ± 2 d) (120 6 d), rectal manure collected. Fecal samples for volatile fatty acids microorganisms. results showed that: 1) Sobs index, Ace Chao1 Simpson index Shannon pre-weaning post-weaning signific...

BACKGROUND Since our first successful left ventricular assist device (LVAD) explantation in a patient with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDCM) in 1995, an additional 31 IDCM patients have been weaned in our department. Echocardiographic evaluations during repeated "off-pump" trials were the cornerstone for weaning decisions. After 9 years of experience, we assessed the reliability of our w...

Objective: The impact of different weaning methods on food preferences and body mass index (BMI) in early childhood is not known. Here, we examine if weaning methoddbaby-led weaning versus traditional spoon feedingdinfluences food preferences and health-related outcomes. Design, setting and participants: Parents (n1⁄4155) recruited through the Nottingham Toddler laboratory and relevant internet...

• To review the frequency of weaning failure • To discuss the logic of weaning, ie, questions to ask when approaching the ventilated patient • To assess available predictors of weaning success and failure • To describe the techniques of weaning and the evidence supporting their use • To understand special considerations in weaning, eg, auto-positive end-expiratory pressure, imposed work of brea...
