    • Existing criteria for determining ventilator weaning readiness are insufficient for guiding clinicians.
    • Nurses require advanced tools to effectively manage the ventilator weaning process.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a computerized tool to assist critical care nurses in the ventilator weaning process.
    • To create a program that integrates expert decision-making strategies for ventilator weaning.
    • To provide a comprehensive system for patient progress tracking during weaning.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a comprehensive, integrated, computerized ventilator weaning program.
    • The program simulates expert thinking and care planning for weaning.
    • The system tracks patient progress throughout the weaning course.

    Main Results:

    • The Burns Wean Assessment Program was developed as an expert-driven tool.
    • The program facilitates the integration of complex weaning concepts.
    • It provides a structured approach to monitor patient advancement during weaning.

    Conclusions:

    • The Burns Wean Assessment Program offers a novel approach to support nurses in ventilator weaning.
    • This computerized tool aims to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of weaning protocols.
    • It represents a significant advancement in utilizing technology for critical care patient management.
