Weaning unit and prolonged mechanical ventilation after critical illness
Methods We retrospectively reviewed medical records of tracheostomized and clinically stable ICU adults patients who required PMV (> 21 days) and weaning (> 7 days) and were transferred to a WU or a GW over a 8-year period (2007-2014) after critical illness. The study was carried out in two tertiary care university hospitals. Study variables were age, sex, APACHE II score, principal diagnosis, ...
متن کاملPatients characteristics and outcomes of prolonged mechanical ventilation after critical illness transferred to a weaning unit
Introduction Recent trends seem to point out that growing numbers of patients requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) and protracted weaning after critical illness with eventually account for a large portion of all Intensive Care Unit (ICU) cost and bed occupancy. Specialized Weaning Unit (WU), may facilitate weaning through focused multidisciplinary expert team, but due to considerabl...
متن کاملAssociation Between Vitamin D Status and Weaning From Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation in Survivors of Critical Illness.
BACKGROUND In this study, we examined the association between 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentration and successful weaning from mechanical ventilation in a cohort of ICU survivors requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation. METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study of ICU survivors admitted to a long-term acute care hospital. Demographic data were extracted from medical records, inc...
متن کاملDeterminants of weaning success in patients with prolonged mechanical ventilation
INTRODUCTION Physiological determinants of weaning success and failure are usually studied in ventilator-supported patients, comparing those who failed a trial of spontaneous breathing with those who tolerated such a trial and were successfully extubated. A major limitation of these studies was that the two groups may be not comparable concerning the severity of the underlying disease and the p...
متن کاملWeaning from mechanical ventilation
D iscontinuation of ventilation is estimated to take up to 40% of the total duration of ventilatory support, and around 3–6% of patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) require a prolonged course of mechanical ventilation (MV). Patients being liberated from ventilatory support therefore occupy a significantnumber of ICUbeds andhave a major impact on healthcare resources. There have be...
