Core Tip	Weaning from mechanical ventilation is a crucial point during respiratory therapy and most intensive care units have developed human-based protocols to wean the patient. Newer ventilators have implemented a computer-aided weaning protocol, and the QuickWean application may be the most complete because it can drive the patient automatically from total passivity to readiness to wean. A key feature of the full computer-driven process is the safeness of the procedure, ensured by the patient always being under control in terms of peripheral oxygen saturation, pulmonary end-tidal carbon dioxide and respiratory fatigue, and improving upon the discontinuous human-driven process.
