Hypercapnic Ventilatory Response in the Weaning of Patients with Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation

Hypercapnic Ventilatory Response in the Weaning of Patients with Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation

Objective. To investigate whether hypercapnic ventilatory response (defined as the ratio of the change in minute ventilation [ΔV˙E] to the change in end-tidal partial pressure of carbon dioxide [ΔPETCO2]) is a predictor of successful weaning in patients with prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) an...
