INCIDENCE OF WEANING FROM MECHANICAL VENTILATION AND SEVERAL FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH PROLONGED WEANING IN INTENSIVE CARE UNIT OF BACH MAI HOSPITAL
Main Article Content
Abstract
Purpose: The objective of the present study was to determine the incidence of
weaning according to the new categories 2005 and to assess some factors associated with prolonged weaning in ICU of Bach Mai hospital. Methods: 176 patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) and requiring mechanical ventilation were successfully weaned and classified into simple, difficult and prolonged weaning. Factors associated with prolonged weaning and outcomes were determined. Results: The cumulative incidences of simple, difficult, and prolonged weaning were 106 (60%), 42 (24%) and 28 (16%), respectively. Hospital mortality was increased in patients with prolonged (11%) weaning in comparison with those with simple and difficult weaning (3%). RSBI ≥98 and PaCO2 ≥ 43 mmHg during the spontaneous breathing trial independently predicted prolonged weaning. Conclusions: The new weaning category prolonged weaning is associated with increased mortality in the ICU. For the overall population, hypercapnia at the end of spontaneous breathing predicts prolonged weaning, clinicians should implement measures aimed at improving weaning outcome.
