| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| OTHER | weaning guided by LUS (lung ultrasound) | Predictive early signs of respiratory distress are assessed by lung ultrasound (LUS score \>14) and if present will trigger protocolised intervention (eg- fluid balance,diuretics, thoracocentesis, antibiotics when required \[CPIS\>6\], hemglobin\>8g/dl triggers transfusion) |
