This
session explores issues facing patients on mechanical ventilation and their
care teams. The speaker discusses how a care team comes together to use
objective criteria (including decision-making criteria) for patient care
regarding placement and weaning from speaking valves. The speaker also discusses
special considerations for settings without access to a team approach and when
working with children.
