Neonatal mechanical ventilation: Indications and outcome
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Decreasing mortality in sick and ventilated neonates is an endeavor of all neonatologists. To reduce the high mortality in this group of neonates, identification of risk factors is important. This study was undertaken to find out the indications of ventilation and complications in ventilated neonates and also study possible predictors of outcome. SUBJECTS Age <1-month; mec...
متن کاملOutcome from mechanical ventilation.
The prognostic assessment of patients requiring mechanical ventilation has two important aspects. Firstly, it has sound therapeutic implications, derived from a better understanding of the factors influencing outcome. Secondly, it has important ethical implications, in helping to identify the patients who are not likely to benefit from mechanical ventilation. In these patients, the use of mecha...
متن کاملInvasive and noninvasive neonatal mechanical ventilation.
Neonatal respiratory failure consists of several different disease entities, with different pathophysiologies. During the past 30 years technological advances have drastically altered both the diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to newborns requiring mechanical assistance. Treatments have become both patient- and disease-specific. The clinician has numerous choices among the noninvasive and i...
متن کاملPediatric mechanical ventilation in India. Need, indications, cost and problems.
We are undertaking mechanical ventilation (MV) seriously since three years, begining with infants and children and then including neonates also. MV is provided to about 15 cases every month presently, 1 to 3 cases receiving it at a time. MV typically lasts for a few days, longest duration having been 37 days. Overall survival of 30% in 1992 is steadily improving. The following presentation of o...
متن کاملCost and outcome of mechanical ventilation for life-threatening stroke.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Hospital mortality rates of 50% to 90% have been reported for stroke patients treated with mechanical ventilation. These data have raised serious questions about the cost-effectiveness of this intervention. We sought to determine how often stroke patients are mechanically ventilated, identify predictors of 30-day survival among ventilated patients, and evaluate the cost-e...
