Abstract

This chapter focuses on patients with acute lung injury (ALI) and/or acute respir-atory distress syndrome (ARDS). Patients with these disorders usually receive mechanical ventilation for several days or weeks, and every critical care physician can recall a patient with ARDS who experienced difficulty when attempting to re-sume spontaneous ventilation. Yet, research that specifically focuses on the prob-lems of discontinuing ventilator support in patients with ALI and/or ARDS does not exist. In reporting research on weaning, investigators have not indicated that patients with ARDS exhibit unique behavior that makes them different from other patients being weaned from mechanical ventilation. Accordingly, this review is based on data obtained in patients recovering from acute respiratory failure due to a variety of causes and not exclusively from ARDS.
