Abstract:

Due to the special pathophysiological structure of obese patients in ICU,difficulties in mechanical ventilation weaning and an increased risk of secondary intubation after weaning often occur,presenting considerable challenges to airway management. Professional clinical judgment,appropriate timing for weaning,and optimized weaning strategies are key to successful weaning of obese patients. Currently,there is limited research on weaning care for obese patients with mechanical ventilation in ICU in China. This article aims to review the factors affecting weaning in obese patients with mechanical ventilation in ICU,pre-weaning nursing assessment and preparation,weaning nursing strategies,and comprehensive post-weaning care,and provide a reference for weaning care of obese patients in ICU.
