A member asked:
Hi, i had a premature baby on dec 3 2022. he has been on ventilator since then however, they tried him on spontaneous breathing yesterday. he was doing good from 11 up until the night. they said he got tired so they are resting him, is that normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The respiratory muscles may become fatigued, but it is encouraging that he was breathing spontaneously for hours. They may try to wean him to non-invasive ventilation. Monitor breathing pattern, oxygenation and maintain weight gain. Watch for signs of fatigue and desaturations.
