Weaning From Mechanical Ventilation Using Permissive Hypercarbia

NCT00357929 · Status: TERMINATED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 3

Last updated 2017-10-20

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Some patients receiving mechanical ventilation have difficulty weaning off the ventilator because of physiological factors such as pre-existing lung disease, respiratory distress syndrome, and trauma among others. Allowing patients to become hypercarbic (increased blood bicarbonate level) may make it easier for these patients to be taken off the ventilator and resume breathing on their own.
