OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical relevance of the weaning from mechanical ventilation classification system derived from the 2005 international consensus conference, in patients who receive mechanical ventilation for more than 48 hours, and evaluate its correlation with prognosis. METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort study in a 12-bed intensive care unit (ICU) in a teaching hospital....

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the generalizability of stringent protocol-driven weaning in improving total duration of opioid treatment and length of inpatient hospital stay after treatment of neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS). METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort analysis of 981 infants who completed pharmacologic treatment of NAS with methadone or morphine from January 2012 through August ...

AIM To compare T-tube and pressure support ventilation (PSV) as two methods of weaning patients from mechanical ventilation. METHODS A randomized prospective study included 260 patients who received mechanical ventilation for more than 48 h, and who were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) at Dr. Josip Bencevic General Hospital in Slavonski Brod, between August 1999 and October 2000. Af...

INTRODUCTION The effect of hemoglobin levels on the weaning outcomes of mechanically ventilated patients remains under debate, particularly for the patients with difficult weaning. This study aims to evaluate the effect of hemoglobin levels on weaning outcomes in difficult-to-wean patients. METHODS This retrospective cohort study was conducted in a university-affiliated teaching hospital in T...

Predicting the timing of weaning in diverse environments is important because breast-feeding significantly contributes to child survival and overall health, especially in developing countries. This study examines associations between weaning and household demographic variables that test predictions derived from parental investment (PI) theory. Data were collected for 101 children (49 males and ...

The research used a survey method with case Observation on post-weaning aged 4 months 1 year included color head, body, legs, tail, ears, ...

BACKGROUND Prolonged weaning from mechanical ventilation has a major impact on ICU bed occupancy and patient outcome, and has significant cost implications.There is evidence in patients around the period of extubation that helium-oxygen leads to a reduction in the work of breathing. Therefore breathing helium-oxygen during weaning may be a useful adjunct to facilitate weaning. We hypothesised t...

A total of 28 litters (241 × 600, DNA) corresponding with 355 nursery pigs DNA; initially 13.0 lb) were used in 42-d trial (17-d pre-weaning and 24-d post-weaning). This was conducted to determine the effect providing a sensory attractant liquid (BlueLite Pro2Lyte; TechMix Global; Stewart, MN) suckling on underline sows after farrowing late lactation, weaning post-weaning feed intake growth. Tr...
