In the context that special weaning units have been advocated as effective alternatives to the ICU for weaning selected patients, we initiated a Respiratory Special Care Unit (ReSCU) at the Cleveland Clinic Hospital in August 1993. The goals of the ReSCU were the following: (1) to wean ventilator-dependent patients when possible; and (2) when weaning was not possible, to optimize patient and family instruction for patients going home with ventilatory support. This study presents our 4-year experience with 212 patients managed in the ReSCU and analyzes clinical features associated with favorable clinical outcomes.
