Terminal weaning from mechanical ventilation: a review

M E Shekleton, S M Burns, J M Clochesy

    AACN Clinical Issues in Critical Care Nursing
    |November 1, 1994
    PubMed
    Summary

    Terminal weaning, the process of withdrawing mechanical ventilation, requires humane practices. Limited research necessitates further study into methods, therapies, and patient/family responses for improved clinical guidance.

    Area of Science:

    • Critical Care Medicine
    • Palliative Care
    • Clinical Practice Guidelines

    Background:

    • Mechanical ventilatory support withdrawal is a complex clinical decision.
    • Terminal weaning is indicated when continued mechanical ventilation is an unacceptable outcome.
    • Humane withdrawal of life support is essential for patients, families, and healthcare providers.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the limited research in terminal weaning.
    • To identify areas needing further investigation in clinical practice.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review on terminal weaning practices.
    • Analysis of current research gaps in mechanical ventilation withdrawal.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Paucity of research-based clinical practice guidelines for terminal weaning.
    • Identification of key areas for future research.

    Conclusions:

    • Further research is crucial to develop evidence-based practices for terminal weaning.
    • Future studies should focus on methods, facilitative therapy, patient/family responses, and care delivery models.
