Hello,

Slowly taking her off the ventilator is to see her spontaneous level of consciousness. Don't worry, it is safe to try. She might wake up, to some extent.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Anders Mark Christensen, General Surgeon
