Weaning fallure in artificially ventilated chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients
Ahmed Abd El-Raheem Kamel;
Abstract
This study was conducted on (50) COPD patients who developed weaning failure after being attached to ventilator in respiratory intensive care unit.
* Also (10) patients who develepd successful weaning were taken as (control group) . The aim of the work -was to study the causes of
weaning failure in mechanically ventilated COPD patients .
* After making several investegations including ABGs, lung mechanics monitoring and others, our study revealed that the
cause& of weaning failure were , respiratory muscle weakness ,
repeated accumulation of secretions , intractable bronchospasm. sudden cardiac arrest , respiratory center depression , hepa'torena.l failure , ventilator associated pneumonia , cerebrovascular stroke ,
iatrogenic pneumothorax & pneumomediastinum and lastly psychological disturbance due to ventilator dependance.
