The afternoon attempt at weening Cathy from the ventilator was no different than this mornings attempt. I do not know exactly how long Cathy was able to breath without assistance (or with reduced assistance). The respiratory therapist adjusted the settings without letting us know. I was not aware that things were changed until Cathy's blood pressure was through the roof and she began struggling. By not advising Cathy (or myself) what she was doing (we assumed the therapist was just in the room to give Cathy a routine respiratory treatment), I think she was trying to remove any anxiety buildup in Cathy as she anticipates what is about to happen to her.
The therapist said that she was going to try again around 5:30 in the morning. (I am going to be in the room before 5).
Good night to all....
