Abstract

This intervention research with historical control design aimed to study effectiveness of new ventilator weaning program. The retrospective clinical data were collected during 2022-2023. Data analysis included averages,  standard deviations, frequencies, percentages, and comparisons of main outcome measures between 2 groups using risk difference regression.

The results showed that among 146 patients who were intubated and used the ventilator weaning program. 61 patients were in the traditional weaning program while 85 patients were in the new weaning program. The average ages were 59.29 (±14.58) and 62.54 (±16.82) years, the average SOS scores at first admission were 5.25 (±1.21) and 4.56 (±1.61), respectively. The duration of Endotracheal tube inserted time to wean and days of hospital stay in ICU between two groups were not significantly different. Repeated tracheal intubation in the traditional weaning program group were 8 cases (13.11%), while 2 cases (2.35%) were in the new weaning program when adjusted for the influence of confounding variables and weight. New weaning program was able to reduce tube insertion. Repeated ventilations were 20% (95%CI, 0.05-0.82) (p=0.025). The new ventilator weaning program can be used as a guideline for care and joint planning with the doctor to promote effective weaning.
