Breathing is Exercise Potentially, the reason why all mechanical weaning parameters are so poor at predicting weaning success is that they do not include cardiovascular reserve in their determination. Pinsky. Intensive Care Med 26: 1164-6. 2000

Summary As the work of breathing increases or cardiovascular reserve decreases spontaneous ventilation may impose an excessive metabolic demand on the heart inducing shock Failure to wean from mechanical ventilation often reflects cardiovascular insufficiency Spontaneous inspiration cyclically increases intrathoracic blood volume (ITBV) Positive airway pressure by reversing negative swings in ITP decreases LV afterload
