What this Trial Is About
Past research on PICS has mainly focused on the predictability and prognosis of PICS occurrence in ICU patients. Still, there is currently insufficient research on the role of PICS in the care setting of patients who have stabilized and are transferred to respiratory care units such as Respiratory Care Centers (RCCs) for weaning attempts. To understand the impact of PICS on the respiratory physiology of patients undergoing weaning from prolonged mechanical ventilation, investigators propose a one-year research plan

Who Can Participate
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if you...
- Patients are still receiving ventilator support when transferred to the ward where the study is conducted.
- Use the respirator continuously for at least 10 days.
- Vital signs are stable: blood pressure systolic blood pressure is not lower than 70 mmHg; heartbeat is not lower than 50/min and not higher than 160/min; respiratory rate is not higher than 50/min.
- When using respirator support, the oxygen concentration should not exceed 60%.
You will not qualify if you...
- Pregnancy.
- The patient refuses to undergo weaning from the respirator training.
- The patient has no ability to drive spontaneous breathing.
