Duration of Weaning Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Relevance of Biochemical Markers in the Process of Weaning
The purpose of the study is to examine the relevance of biochemical markers (specific pulmonary and cardiac markers and markers of endogenous stress) in the process of weaning in patients with artificial ventilation.
Artificially ventilated patients on our intensive care unit will be monitored if specific biomarkers have a relevance in risk stratification, optimizing therapy, outcome and success in the process of weaning. Therefore, consecutively, specific blood parameters will be taken at time of intubation,day 1 of weaning and extubation. ;
