MGH’s Provincial Prolonged-Ventilation Weaning Centre for Excellence is mandated by the Ministry of Health and is part of a greater provincial strategy which aims to effectively reduce pressure on ICUs and ensure resources in the community that provide people who require long-term ventilation with more opportunities to receive the right care, in the right place, at the right time.
To learn more about this strategy, please visit the main program page.
Our program is designed to provide care to medically stable patients who require prolonged effort to wean from mechanical ventilation. Patients will be admitted for a maximum length of stay of three months. The following resources will help healthcare providers navigate the referral and admission process.
Any member of the care team can fill out and email or fax the referral form.
For patients who do not immediately meet the admission criteria, referral can result in an Ontario Telemedicine Network (OTN) teleconsultation between the PWC care team and the referring ICU team.
