23. Absence of bowel problems (diarrhea, constipation, ileus)?
24. Weaning parameters within normal limits:
- NIF greater than 20
- VC >10ml/kg IBW (2*VT)
- VE less than 10- 5ml/kg IBW
- VC double VT
- RR less than thirty 30

Wow huge list, but a good one I learned some things, especially what PO.1 was, never heard of it or did I notice it on a Servo I, unfortunatyly I'm not working with them anymore so I can't go look. I had a heart doc once who did his weaning by seeing if the patient could raise his/her head off the pillow, if they could, good to go seemed to work.
We use a Dräger Evita 2 at the hospital I work at, and have been using PO.1 for quite some time now. It IS an excellent measure of weanability and extubatability. I am glad you decided to include it on this list.
So long as everyone remembers that one good parameter does not a successful extubation make.
If multiple parameters you use, successful extubations you will have.
