title: Advances in weaning from mechanical ventilation.
abstract: In all three of the previous cases, any one of the weaning modes may be successful. Although specific weaning protocols are based on individual bias, a single rigid approach to weaning may not be appropriate for all patients. It is the occasional difficult to wean patient who presents a dilemma. If a weaning attempt is not successful for a particular patient, it makes sense to take another approach. With T-piece trials, CPAP trials, IMV weaning, PSV, or various combinations, a successful weaning plan can usually be tailored to the individual patient.
