Hello, My 98 Year Old Mother Is On A Ventalor
Hello,
My 98 year old mother is on a ventalor at a lct in miami lakes. Yesterday they did a T-Piece trial for an hour looked good , but the blood gases showed 61% Co2 her last showed 51% while on cpap. They are going to do another test Monday hopefully. The head RT said because of that Co2 she will never be weaned off ......Is that true.
Thanks
Dave Steinberg
