    AbstractThe care of patients who are receiving artificial mechanical ventilation is complex and requires skill and experience. This two-part series outlines some of the important aspects of one specific part of this care - the point at which the patient is removed from the ventilator. This article focuses on the various physical and psychological effects that patients may experience. The second article will focus on the practical aspects of nursing care required to prevent complications arising.
