Since its inception, the program has identified 12 potential residents for this process. The results have been extraordinary. As children are admitted and assessed at CHC, they are identified as potential candidates for ventilator weaning. The Respiratory Therapy staff then works with a comprehensive team comprised of pediatricians, a pediatric pulmonologist, an advanced practice nurse, nurses and physical therapists to determine a schedule for the process. An individualized weaning calendar is developed for each child. The program is dynamic and adjusts as necessary throughout the weaning process. Of the 12 residents identified as potential candidates, 8 have been totally weaned from mechanical ventilation, and 3 have been able to be discharged to a home setting. The success of this program has been life-changing for several of the children and their families due to their improved quality of life. Given the success of this program, we are receiving children earlier and earlier from hospital NICUs and PICUs.
