Outcomes of patients with COVID-19 Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome requiring Invasive Mechanical Ventilation admitted to an Intensive Care Unit in South Africa
… COVID-19 pneumonia may require ICU admission or mechanical ventilation [Guan et al., 2020; Huang et al., 2020]. Data from low- and middle-income countries for COVID-19 ARDS are limited. Groote Schuur Hospital in Cape Town, South Africa expanded its ICU service to support patients with COVID-19 …

Risk factors for prolonged ventilation in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease presenting with acute respiratory failure
… hypercapnic respiratory failure often require invasive mechanical ventilation and subsequent admission to the intensive care unit (ICU). These patients are at an increased risk of prolonged and complicated ventilation and often experience weaning difficulties. In addition, the impact of a …

Critical Illness in Patients with Hematologic Malignancies
… 2) evaluates the effectiveness of different noninvasive oxygenation strategies for reducing the receipt of invasive mechanical ventilation and decreasing mortality in patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure; and 3) describes the association between ICU admission and subsequent …

Children admitted to Paediatric Intensive Care at Red Cross War Memorial Children?s Hospital with Non-Accidental injuries (2012-2020): a retrospective descriptive study
… 57.1%). Of the patients, 37 (88.1%) received invasive mechanical ventilation for median 2.0 (IQR) (1.0 – 3.8) days. PICU mortality was 28.6% (n=12), with a risk adjusted mortality (observed/mean predicted mortality) of 3.2. Of the 30 PICU survivors, 7 (23.3%) were discharged with long-term …

Preditores de extubação tardia em pacientes adultos no pós-operatório de cirurgia cardíaca
… patients are sedated, anesthetized, placed on invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV), and usually undergo cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). After HS, delayed extubation (DE) and prolonged IMV are markers of a complicated perioperative course, which predict higher morbidity and mortality. Objective: …

Development of a mortality risk prediction score for patients with AML requiring critical care
… of hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT), use of invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) within 24 hours of ICU admission, and serum creatinine ≥2.0 mg/dl within 24 hours of ICU admission. The outcome was 90-day mortality after ICU admission. Risk factors were compared using sensitivity, …

High flow nasal oxygen in resource constrained, non-intensive care high care wards for COVID-19 acute hypoxaemic respiratory failure: comparing outcomes of first versus third waves
… exists, and approximately halves the need for invasive mechanical ventilation. Objectives: To determine if treatment outcomes would be better in the third COVID wave (irrespective of differences in variant virulence; ancestral vs delta) due to increased institutional experience and capacity for …

POLST-Discordant Intensive Care Near the End of Life: A Retrospective Cohort Study
… we also measured life-sustaining treatments (invasive mechanical ventilation, vasoactive infusions, new renal replacement therapies, CPR). All outcomes were measured during the last hospitalization of life. Results: We identified 1,201 eligible decedents (mean [SD] age, 70.0 [14.6] years; 41% …

Development and validation of a biomarker-based model to predict persistent hypoxemic respiratory failure among mechanically ventilated adults
… hypoxemic respiratory failure (HRF) requiring invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) is a common and morbid condition, but treatment is largely supportive and most pharmacologic trials have been negative. The early clinical trajectory is heterogeneous, with most patients resolving within days …
