There is an increase of both prolonged mechanical ventilation (MV) and prolonged weaning from the respirator in the last decade in Germany. Prolonged MV is associated with an increase of morbidity, mortality and costs.The network "WeanNet", which has been founded by the "Deutsche Gesellschaft für Pneumologie und Beatmungsmedizin e. V. (DGP, German Respiratory Society) connects weaning units headed by pneumologists with special experience in intensive care medicine.The certification of a weaning unit within WeanNet aims at the improvement of treatment quality, outcome and reduction of costs by well defined structures and processes.Based on growing experience the criteria and procedures of the certification process were adjusted in the last years, leading to a higher transparency and acceleration of the process. On this background WeanNet is necessary to improve the communication about prolonged weaning in public health, with insurance companies and associated scientific societies.
在过去十年中，德国长期机械通气（MV）以及脱离呼吸机的长期撤机情况均有所增加。长期MV与发病率、死亡率及成本的增加相关。由德国呼吸学会（Deutsche Gesellschaft für Pneumologie und Beatmungsmedizin e. V.，简称DGP）创立的“WeanNet”网络，将由在重症医学方面具有特殊经验的肺病专家领导的撤机单元连接起来。WeanNet内撤机单元的认证旨在通过明确的结构和流程来提高治疗质量、改善治疗结果并降低成本。基于不断积累的经验，认证过程的标准和程序在过去几年中进行了调整，从而提高了透明度并加快了流程。在此背景下，WeanNet对于改善公共卫生领域、与保险公司及相关科学协会之间关于长期撤机的沟通而言是必要的。
