Main Article Content
Abstract
BACKGROUND: The use of invasive mechanical ventilation in patients brain injuries helps treat life-threatening conditions. Long-term usage of the invasive mechanical ventilator, however, will result in poor outcomes such as ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP).
OBJECTIVES: To summarize knowledge regarding successful weaning from invasive mechanical ventilation in patients with brain injuries.
METHODS: The systematic review of literature had a sample consisting of research conducted on successful weaning from mechanical ventilation in patients with brain injuries by searching for keywords according to the PICO principle from 2018–2023. The research tools included an appraisal form and a data extract form developed by the Joanna Briggs Institute with a critical appraisal checklist for descriptive research form. The results yielded 7 studies meeting the inclusion criteria, for which the results cannot be compared. Therefore, a content summary was used to summarize the knowledge obtained from the systematic literature review.
RESULTS: The results showed that weaning success in patients with brain injuries placed on an invasive mechanical ventilator was evaluated based on level of consciousness, ability to cough, swallow, and reductions in the quantity of sputum along with daily assessment of readiness for weaning from mechanical ventilation, self-breathing exercises, assessment of readiness to wean, and record of weaning.
CONCLUSIONS: The conclusions that correspond with the research analyzing weaning success in patients with brain injuries placed on an invasive mechanical ventilator are that weaning reduces the duration of mechanical ventilation, length of stay in the ICU or hospital, and pulmonary complications.
