Survival and success of weaning from prolonged ventilation.
in this case appears to favour a regional technique. The reasons given for not performing an awake ®breoptic intubation are, at best, dubious. We must remember that what we should do is take the safest option, in the patient's best interest. It is worth drawing attention to a recent editorial in The Royal College of Anaesthetists Bulletin, which claims that there have been three deaths attribut...
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 کاملPredicting success in weaning from mechanical ventilation.
We identified 65 observational studies of weaning predictors that had been reported in 70 publications. After grouping predictors with similar names but different thresholds, the following predictors met our relevance criteria: heterogeneous populations, 51; COPD patients, 21; and cardiovascular ICU patients, 45. Many variables were of no use in predicting the results of weaning. Moreover, few ...
متن کاملProlonged invasive ventilation following acute ventilatory failure in COPD: weaning results, survival, and the role of noninvasive ventilation.
BACKGROUND Invasive ventilation for COPD has significant mortality, and weaning can be difficult. At Papworth Hospital, we provide a specialist weaning service using noninvasive ventilation (NIV) for patients requiring prolonged invasive ventilation after recovery from acute illness. We analyzed our results for patients with COPD to identify factors associated with weaning outcome and survival....
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...
