Excerpt

Weaning tracheostomised patients from prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) is challenging and at great financial cost. PMV is associated with significant morbidity and mortality which increases with the period of mechanical ventilation [1]. Moreover, patients receiving PMV account for 6% of all ventilated patients but consume 37% of intensive care unit (ICU) resources [2]. …
