Past research on PICS has mainly focused on the predictability and prognosis of PICS occurrence in ICU patients. Still, there is currently insufficient research on the role of PICS in the care setting of patients who have stabilized and are transferred to respiratory care units such as Respiratory Care Centers (RCCs) for weaning attempts. To understand the impact of PICS on the respiratory physiology of patients undergoing weaning from prolonged mechanical ventilation, investigators propose a one-year research plan
Patients are still receiving ventilator support when transferred to the ward where the study is conducted.
Use the respirator continuously for at least 10 days.
Vital signs are stable: blood pressure systolic blood pressure is not lower than 70 mmHg; heartbeat is not lower than 50/min and not higher than 160/min; respiratory rate is not higher than 50/min.
When using respirator support, the oxygen concentration should not exceed 60%.
None
Potential candidates for screening are adult patients transferred from RCC who are still on ventilators and will undergo screening assessment by researchers.

Impact of Persistent Inflammation-Immunosuppression-Catabolism Syndrome (PICS) on the Respiratory Physiology in Patients with Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation
To understand whether weaning training strategies for PICS and non-PICS patients may have different considerations when patients undergo spontaneous breathing testing.
