Here is a little snippet from the article:

Mechanical ventilation is the most common intervention for patients admitted to ICUs to allow them to breathe sufficiently on their own. However, prolonged mechanical ventilation can lead to a host of negative outcomes for patients.

In the U.S., there are very few quality requirements for mechanical ventilation in long-term care facilities.

Over the past twenty years, Gene Gantt, RRT, FAARC, developed best practices for safely and successfully weaning patients in Tennessee off long-term mechanical ventilation. His successes have been standardized as a widely-recognized accreditation available through the Physician-Patient Alliance for Health & Safety (PPAHS), a non-profit (501(c)(3)) advocating for patient health and safety priorities.
