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

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

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

Factors Impacting Physician Recommendation for Tracheostomy Placement in Pediatric Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation: A Cross-Sectional Survey on Stated Practice.

Pediatric Critical Care Medicine, 2019
OBJECTIVES To characterize the stated practices of qualified Canadian physicians toward tracheostomy for pediatric prolonged mechanical ventilation and whether subspecialty and comorbid conditions impact attitudes toward tracheostomy.

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.

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

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

Decannulation Following Tracheostomy for Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation

Journal of Intensive Care Medicine, 2009
Background: We examined the process of decannulation following tracheostomy in patients transferred to a long-term acute care (LTAC) hospital for weaning from prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV). Methods: A retrospective chart review of 135 patients. Results: Decannulation was successful in 35% of patients a median of 45 days (IQR, 32-76) following

Prolonged mechanical ventilation after critical illness.

Minerva anestesiologica, 2008
A significant number of patients that have been critically ill require mechanical ventilation for extended periods of time as they progress towards recovery. Many of these patients can be cared for outside of the Intensive Care Unit in facilities focused on stabilizing the underlying medical problems, managing ventilatory support, and planning for ...

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.
