A 48-yeаr-оld mаle pаtient with stable amyоtrоphic lateral sclerosis (requiring nocturnal ventilation only) develops chest pain and is taken to the emergency department by his family. An electrocardiogram reveals an anterior myocardial infarction. The patient is intubated with a 7.5-Fr endotracheal tube and placed on appropriate ventilatory support.The patient is stabilized, and, after 2 days on ventilation, a spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) is attempted. The patient fails the SBT. He also fails SBTs evaluated over the next week. A tracheostomy is placed.After 4 weeks in an acute care setting, the patient is medically stable but requires continuous ventilation. Why has it become so difficult to wean this patient? Would you recommend transferring this patient to another facility?
