  1. Standardization of Weaning Practices for Adult Ventilator Patients • Multidisciplinary Task Force Committee: • Critical Care Services (Anesthesiology, Pulmonary, Trauma, Neurosurgery) • Department of Respiratory Care - clinical staff and team leaders • Center for Clinical Effectiveness

  2. Opportunity Statement and Desired Outcome • There is an opportunity to improve the outcomes of the ventilator-assisted patient. In 2001, a house-wide ventilator weaning protocol was developed and implemented by a multidisciplinary task force. • Goal: 50% reduction in weaning time

  3. Most Likely Causes for Current Opportunity • Suboptimal communication among physician, nurse and respiratory care team members • Variation in weaning practices among critical care services • Need for ongoing education regarding best practices for weaning

  4. Solutions Implemented • Increased involvement of medical leadership in selected ICUs • Education to all healthcare providers • Proactive assessment and response to data at regular ICU QI meetings • Consistent and ongoing communication between Nursing and Respiratory Care staff to ensure appropriate implementation of the protocol

  11. Conclusions and Next Steps • Utilization of the protocol has increased dramatically in the Neurosciences and Surgical Intensive Units. • Weaning time has decreased by more than 50% in those units consistently using the protocol. • Usage of the protocol in selected areas is inconsistent. Leadership and communication issues remain opportunities for improvement.
