Day 12a: Smallish Bear has a BIG day today! His extubation went - TopicsExpress



          

Day 12a: Smallish Bear has a BIG day today! His extubation went well & he is officially off the vent! No more fishy face!! Yay!! He seems to be handling it well, his numbers are holding steady, but theyre continuing to monitor his CO2 numbers to be sure. If he has issues, the plan is to Not but him back on the ventilator, but to give him external oxygen therapy using CPAP instead, but thats only if he needs it. The plan for today is to continue increasing feed quantities until he doesnt need IV supplementation anymore. They will be removing his central line & putting in an IV for now, as well as switching him to oral versions of his meds once he is up to full feeding quantities. His great grandparents are also coming yo visit! Just in time for kissable baby cheeks! Will update again this evening on how he did.
