Abstract

To receive optimal care, health care professionals must be cohesive in their approach within their organizational structure. The implementation of a protocol-based ventilator management guideline in an intensive care setting will yield favorable results. Utilizing a multidisciplinary approach optimizes practice standardization and fosters growth for the health care professional to practice their craft within set guardrails. Empowering health care professionals to utilize their critical thinking skills is an effective way to build the framework of success for all stakeholders. In turn, the needs of the patient are brought to the forefront with a streamlined objective.
