Long-Term Outcome after Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation. A Long-Term Acute-Care Hospital Study

Abstract: Rationale: Patients managed at a long-term acute-care hospital (LTACH) for weaning from prolonged mechanical ventilation are at risk for profound muscle weakness and disability. Objectives: To investigate effects of prolonged ventilation on survival, muscle function, and its impact on quality of life at 6 and 12 months after LTACH discharge. Methods: This was a prospective, longitudinal study conducted in 315 patients being weaned from prolonged ventilation at an LTACH. Measurements and Main Results: At discha… Show more

“…We found a 1-year survival rate of RCW patients of 31.7%; this rate, too, was lower than that of discharged PMV patients. Jubran and colleagues reported a 1-year survival rate of16.4% for ventilator-attached patients (similar to our RCW patients) and 66.9% for ventilator-detached patients (similar to our discharged PMV patients)[18]. Clearly, weaning from the ventilator is important for long-term survival in PMV patients.…”

“…This result means that, at most, 66.7% of the survivors were willing to receive mechanical ventilation again. In Jubran's series, 84.7% of survivors indicated a willingness to undergo mechanical ventilation again [21]. Our patients were less willing to receive second mechanical ventilation than were Jubran's patients.…”

“…Soweit bei der kurzen Laufzeit des Projektes zu beurteilen, ist die Sterblichkeit der von uns betreuten Patienten hoch. Dies entspricht Daten aus dem WeanNet sowie internationalen Erfahrungen 5 9 . Patienten mit schwerer, chronischer Erkrankung sterben oft an den Folgen ihrer Erkrankung.…”
