title: Successful tracheal weaning.
abstract: In 1994, neuroscience nurses and neurosurgeons at St. Boniface General Hospital and the Health Sciences Centre in Winnipeg completed a study on tracheostomy weaning. This collaborative effort was initiated in response to a perceived clinical need--weaning difficulties in our neurological and neurosurgical patients--and was the first step along the road to implementing a standardized weaning procedure.
