Safety of the endotracheal tube for prolonged mechanical ventilation

Journal of Critical Care, 2021
The endotracheal tube (ETT) is the most common route for invasive mechanical ventilation (MV) yet controversy attends its long-term safety.Assess the safety of ETT compared with tracheostomy tube (TT) for MV support in the intensive care unit (ICU).Retrospective analysis of five year national dataset of 128,977 adults (age > 15-years) admitted for MV ...

Criteria for Weaning From Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation

Survey of Anesthesiology, 1985
We retrospectively studied 11 instances of patients requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation. Their spontaneous ventilatory measurements were not useful in judging their ability to wean, since these measurements did not change from the period of unsuccessful weaning to the period of progressive weaning from the ventilator. An adverse factor score and

EARLY CRITERIA PREDICTIVE OF PROLONGED MECHANICAL VENTILATION

The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 1991
This study was performed to determine if prolonged mechanical ventilation (MV) could be predicted by objective clinical variables present at 48 hours after MV was instituted. During a 3-month period, 49 (54%) of 91 mechanically ventilated surgical intensive care unit patients required MV for 2 or more days. Twelve (24%) of these patients died. Patients

Mechanics of breathing during prolonged artificial ventilation

Resuscitation, 1980
In three patients with lesions of peripheral regions of the central nervous system and paralyses of the respiratory muscles (malignant myasthenia, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and residual manifestations after poliomyelitis), artificial ventilation has been performed continuously for periods from 7 years 4 months to 18 years 9 months using some degree

Prolonged Mechanically Assisted Ventilation

JAMA, 1980
Mechanically assisted ventilation is frequently used, but there are little data regarding cost and long-term outcome. Therefore, all patients who required mechanical ventilation for 48 hours or more were studied, their hospitalization charges analyzed, and the survivors observed for two years after discharge. The mean charge for the hospitalization was

Outcome and Function Following Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation

Survey of Anesthesiology, 1987
Prolonged periods of mechanically assisted ventilation are reasonably common occurrences, but there are no data regarding outcome for this patient population. We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 250 consecutive patients with a minimum of ten days of ventilatory support during a five-year period.

Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation, Weaning, and the Role of Tracheostomy

Critical Care Clinics
Depending on the definitional criteria used, approximately 5% to 10% of critical adults will require prolonged mechanical ventilation with longer-term outcomes that are worse than those ventilated for a shorter duration. Outcomes are affected by patient characteristics before critical illness and its severity but also by organizational characteristics ...

Clinical model for predicting prolonged mechanical ventilation

Journal of Critical Care, 2013
Mechanical ventilation (MV) predisposes patients to numerous complications, which increases with longer durations of treatment. Identifying individuals more likely to require prolonged MV (PMV) may alter ventilation strategies or potentially minimize the duration of therapy and its associated complications. Our aim was to identify clinical variables at
