Table S1. Additional baseline characteristics in patients with tracheostomy and no tracheostomy (n = 2377). BMI, body mass index; ICU, intensive care unit; ER, emergency room; COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; NYHA, New York heart association; AHRF, Acute hypoxemic respiratory failure; ARDS, acute respiratory distress syndrome; TRALI, transfusion-related acute lung injury; A/C, assist control; PC, pressure control; BIPAP, bilevel positive airway pressure APRV, airway pressure release ventilation; SIMV, synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation, PRVC, pressure-regulated volume control; PSV, pressure support ventilation; HFO, high-frequency oscillation; CPAP, continuous posit…
Weaning from mechanical ventilation in intensive care units across 50 countries (WEAN SAFE)
Background: Current management practices and outcomes in weaning from invasive mechanical ventilation are poorly understood. We aimed to describe the epidemiology, management, timings, risk for failure, and outcomes of weaning in patients requiring at least 2 days of invasive mechanical ventilation. Methods: WEAN SAFE was an international, multicentre, prospective, observational cohort study done in 481 intensive care units in 50 countries. Eligible participants were older than 16 years, admitted to a participating intensive care unit, and receiving mechanical ventilation for 2 calendar days or longer. We defined weaning initiation as the first attempt to separate a patient from the ventila…
Additional file 2: of Epidemiology and patterns of tracheostomy practice in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome in ICUs across 50 countries
Table S2 compares outcomes between early (within 7 days of ICU admission) and late (8 days and later) thoracotomy (n = 280). SD, standard deviation; ICU, intensive care unit; Q1–Q3; 25%–75% interquartile. Missing data: days of mechanical ventilation = 37; days of mechanical ventilation in patient alive at hospital discharge (90 days) = 139; length of ICU stay in patient alive at ICU discharge (90 days) = 58; length of hospital stay = 19; length of hospital stay in patient alive at ICU discharge (90 days) = 87; ICU, 28-day, 60-day, and 90-day mortality = 1. Participants were adult patients (≥ 18 years) with severe or moderate ARDS who received mechanical ventilation and had tracheostomy. Par…
