Patients on mechanical ventilation are occasionally hard to wean because of fatigue and/or depression. It is difficult to diagnose depression in this population, and treatment with traditional antidepressants has too slow an onset to be useful. Two cases are presented which suggest the possible utility of psychostimulants in this setting.
接受机械通气的患者有时因疲劳和/或抑郁而难以撤机。在这一人群中很难诊断出抑郁症，而使用传统抗抑郁药治疗起效太慢，没有效果。本文介绍了两个病例，提示在这种情况下使用精神振奋剂可能有用。
