Factors affecting mechanical ventilation in icu elderly patients

چکیده
Methods We studied retrospectively 74 patients >65 years old, who have been hospitalized in ICU and underwent mechanical ventilation. The patients, depending on the duration of the mechanical respiratory support (MRS), have been divided into two groups. Group A: MRS < 10 days and Group B: MRS >10 days. We have recorded the age, the gender, the cause of admission in ICU, the comorbidities (Charlson comorbidity index), the duration of hospitalization, the complications and the outcome. For the statistics analysis we have used tstudent and chi-square tests.

We studied the outcome of prolonged (> 3 days) mechanical ventilation in 181 patients aged 70 and over and determined the risk factors for in-hospital mortality. The overall in-hospital mortality for the entire study group was 57.5%. The previous medical history did not influence the final outcome. Shock during the intensive care unit (ICU) stay and an admission diagnosis of cardiac arrest were...
