Spaulding Hospital Cambridge's Ventilator Weaning Rehabilitation program offers comprehensive and expert services for patients requiring ventilator care and that are in the process of being weaned. Directed by
Dr. Christopher Fanta from Brigham and Women's Hospital, the program provides patients with a full spectrum of on-site services along with daily pulmonary and intensivist consultation from Brigham and Women's Pulmonary and Critical Care Division.
Individual care plans are made to meet specific patient and family needs. Within 24-hours of admission, each patient receives a thorough evaluation that may include testing of pulmonary function, blood gases, nocturnal oxygenation and telemetry monitoring. If necessary, in-room hemodialysis services are also available.
