Meanings of difficult weaning in anglès

Conclusions: Patients who experienced prolonged weaning had significantly higher mortality rates than patients who experienced either simple or difficult weaning.

Hospital mortality rates were higher for patients in the prolonged weaning group than in the simple and difficult weaning groups.

However, prolonged MV causes the rapid development of diaphragm muscle atrophy, and diaphragmatic weakness may contribute to difficult weaning from MV.
