Design of a Clinical Practice Guideline in Nurse-Led Ventilator-Weaning for Nursing Training

Cardiothoracic intensive care unit (CICU) nurses have shared the role and responsibility for ventilator-weaning to expedite decision-making in patient care. However, the actions taken are based on individual's unstructured training experience as there is no clinical practice guideline (CPG) for...

Design of a Clinical Practice Guideline in Nurse-Led Ventilator-Weaning for Nursing Training
