A lot is written about being a ‘Talent Magnet’, either as a company, or as President. It’s all good practice – listen, mentor, reward, provide clear goals and career maps. Good practice for the employer, but what about the employee?

SmartCare/PS knowledge based weaning system: “Relentless”

No Comments

Please read Drager Medical's white paper, SmartCare®/PS knowledge based weaning system: "Relentless".

What are the challenges associated with weaning long-term patients from mechanical ventilation?

"I would say that creating enough time for therapists to spend with each of their long-term patients is one of the major challenges in a busy ICU. The demands placed upon them severely limit their ability to make the frequent adjustments that a marginal patient can require. As a result, I have witnessed several scenarios where a therapist would prematurely discontinue a weaning trial based on a written protocol, for example if the patient became tachypneic."
