Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation in Children

Pediatric Clinics of North America, 1994
Improvements in neonatal and pediatric intensive care have produced a growing population of children dependent on mechanical ventilation for survival. Long-term mechanical ventilation has become a realistic alternative to death from progressive respiratory failure for many children with chronic respiratory illness.

Liberation from prolonged mechanical ventilation

Critical Care Clinics, 2002
After weaning from PMV, patients are usually far from ready to resume normal activities. A prolonged recovery period after catastrophic illness is the rule, with multidisciplinary rehabilitation and discharge planning efforts. Following such efforts, reports of success of restorative care are institutional and population specific. That all PMV patients

Preferences for Mechanical Ventilation Among Survivors of Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation and Tracheostomy

American Journal of Critical Care, 2006
• Background Among survivors of prolonged mechanical ventilation, preferences for this treatment have rarely been explored. • Objectives To elicit preferences of survivors of prolonged mechanical ventilation (≥7 days) and factors influencing these preferences. • Methods A descriptive, cross-sectional survey design was used.

Mechanical Ventilator Weaning in Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation

American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine
Abstract Rationale: Prolonged mechanical ventilation (MV) via tracheostomy is a common complication of critical illness which affects a growing number of survivors of intensive care unit (ICU) hospitalization. In the USA, patients with prolonged MV are often hospitalized in long-term acute care hospitals (LTACH).

Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation

2017
Prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) is defined as requiring mechanical ventilation for greater than 14 to 21 days for acute illness or injury. Use of the ProVent14 score to assess expected survival can guide provider communication with patients and caregivers.

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
