Inpatient care of severely burned patients is associated with a high morbidity and mortality rate. Burns, especially severe ones, are accompanied by an immune and inflammatory response and drastic metabolic changes that are hard to manage, which can shortly lead to multiple organ failure as well as lung failure. Weaning from mechanical ventilation represents the transition period from total ventilatory support to spontaneous breathing and can be performed with different strategies. The objective of this prospective study is to evaluate the clinical conditions of a series of patients weaned from mechanical ventilation with the aid of high flow nasal cannulas.

Abstract
Inpatient care of severely burned patients is associated with a high morbidity and mortality rate. Burns, especially severe ones, are accompanied by an immune and inflammatory response and drastic metabolic changes that are hard to manage, which can shortly lead to multiple organ failure as well as lung failure. Weaning from mechanical ventilation represents the transition period from total ventilatory support to spontaneous breathing and can be performed with different strategies. The objective of this prospective study is to evaluate the clinical conditions of a series of patients weaned from mechanical ventilation with the aid of high flow nasal cannulas.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
