Ventilator weaning is complex and would have to be managed and assessed by the medical personnel, including a respiratory therapist. I don't think there's anything you can do except as Pam suggests, and educate yourself.

Ask questions of the MD! Keep a notebook handy and as questions come to mind, write them down so you don't forget what you wanted to ask.
