Prediction of weaning from mechanical ventilation using convolutional neural networks
Weaning from mechanical ventilation covers the process of liberating the patient from
mechanical support and removing the associated endotracheal tube. The management of
weaning from mechanical ventilation comprises a significant proportion of the care of
critically ill intubated patients in Intensive Care Units (ICUs). Both prolonged dependence on
mechanical ventilation and premature extubation expose patients to an increased risk of
complications and increased health care costs. This work aims to develop a decision …
