Variation in Definition of Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation [PDF]

open access: yesRespiratory Care, 2017
Consistency of definitional criteria for terminology applied to describe subject cohorts receiving mechanical ventilation within ICU and post-acute care settings is important for understanding prevalence, risk stratification, effectiveness of interventions, and projections for resource allocation.

An economic evaluation of prolonged mechanical ventilation* [PDF]

open access: yesCritical Care Medicine, 2007
Patients who receive prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) have high resource utilization and relatively poor outcomes, especially the elderly, and are increasing in number. The economic implications of PMV provision however are uncertain and would be helpful to providers and policymakers.

Effect of positioning and expiratory rib-cage compression on atelectasis in a patient who required prolonged mechanical ventilation: a case report

open access: yesJournal of Medical Case Reports, 2022
Background Pulmonary complications can be caused by intraoperative mechanical ventilation. In particular, prolonged mechanical ventilation is associated with a high mortality rate, a risk of pulmonary complications, prolonged hospitalization, and an ...

Expectations and outcomes of prolonged mechanical ventilation* [PDF]

open access: yesCritical Care Medicine, 2009
Prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) provision is increasing markedly despite poor patient outcomes. Misunderstanding prognosis in the PMV decision making process could provide an explanation to this phenomenon. Therefore, we aimed to compare PMV decision makers' expectations for long-term patient outcomes with prospectively observed outcomes.

Persistent swallowing disorders after extubation in mechanically ventilated patients in ICU: a two-center prospective study

open access: yesAnnals of Intensive Care, 2020
Background Persistent swallowing disorders (SD) are non-pulmonary complications of mechanical ventilation (MV). However, there are few clinical studies on persistent SD in critically ill patients undergoing tracheal intubation for MV.

The Effect of Fluid Overload on Attributable Morbidity after Cardiac Surgery: A Retrospective Study

open access: yesCritical Care Research and Practice, 2020
Introduction. Although the detrimental effects of excessive perioperative fluid administration are generally well established, data in the setting of cardiac surgery remain less robust. Methods.

Physiotherapy and Weaning From Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation [PDF]

open access: yesRespiratory Care, 2018
BACKGROUND: Patients undergoing prolonged mechanical ventilation represent up to 15% of all patients requiring weaning from mechanical ventilation. Although recent guidelines have recommended including physiotherapy early during mechanical ventilation to speed the process of weaning, only indirect evidence ...

Diaphragm echodensity in mechanically ventilated patients: a description of technique and outcomes

open access: yesCritical Care, 2021
Background Acute increases in muscle sonographic echodensity reflect muscle injury. Diaphragm echodensity has not been measured in mechanically ventilated patients.

Preoperative risk factors for massive transfusion, prolonged ventilation requirements, and mortality in patients undergoing liver transplantation [PDF]

open access: yesKorean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2020
Background Despite improvements in techniques and management of liver transplant patients, numerous perioperative complications that contribute to perioperative mortality remain.
