In a general ICU with a predominant surgical census, patients with acute respiratory failure can usually be treated on a clinical assessment and a minimum of invasive monitoring. An algorithm was used to manage the ventilatory support and weaning. When it failed (15% of the time), the patients' functional diagnoses were questioned and more advanced monitoring was used. The algorithm led to expeditious weaning of patients who did not need mechanical support and to a reduction of invasive monitoring. |
