Failure to Wean-Post OP
This code is often used because the pt has been unable to be weaned from the ventilator in PARR and subsequently needs an ICU bed. If possible the exact reason for the failure to wean should be also added. For example, OSA, fluid overload, copd exacerbation, etc. Utilizing only the code "failure to wean" would mean that it is unclear why this occurred.--LKolesar 12:04, 10 November 2011 (CST)
