Wean... She is on a lot of meds, many of which are given to sedate her. In order for her to breathe unassisted, these drugs have to be discontinued. So, her last dose of Ativan was at 8 am. So far, so good. She is still agitated and cranky, but she's not yanking at her chest tubes!
Extubate... All morning long, her both meds and her breathing support have been gradually decreased. She has responded well and her blood gases look good. So, they will attempt to extubate her within the hour.
