Ventilator weaning is vital part of recovery, and the experienced, specialized vent weaning team at Sunnyview is among the state’s best in treating and weaning ventilator-dependent patients.
A ventilator, or “vent,” is mechanical ventilation that assists patients who can’t breathe on their own. Ventilators give the body a chance to heal and regain strength after a significant and/or traumatic medical event.
Vent weaning means carefully and gradually removing the mechanical ventilation support from the vent patient, over time, for optimal results.
