Purpose To propose a middle range theory (MRT) that establishes the theoretical basis for the nursing diagnosis dysfunctional ventilatory weaning response (DVWR) (00034) . Data Sources Integrative literature review . Data Synthesis The MRT includes the main concepts, pictorial diagrams, propositions, and causal relationships for use in clinical practice . Conclusions The MRT developed for the DVWR allowed us to list 13 clinical antecedent and 21 consequent findings related to this nursing diagnosis that occurs when ventilatory weaning fails . Implications for Nursing Practice The clinical indicators and causal relationships described in the MRT may serve as a basis for nurses to understand the dysfunctional weaning process .
