These systems are characterised by different mechanical lengths of the links and, in the case of multi-storey systems, by different numbers of storeys.
Secondary outcomes were incidence of ARF, mechanical ventilation length, ICU length of stay and 28-day mortality.
Secondary outcomes were incidence of acute renal failure (ARF), mechanical ventilation length, ICU length of stay and 28-day mortality.
Systematic interventions reduced the duration of mechanical ventilation, length of ICU stay and the length of hospital stay.
Other outcomes measured included duration of mechanical ventilation, length of stay in the ICU, duration of hospitalization, mortality rates, and development of organ dysfunction.
In a multivariate logistic regression model, RVEF appeared to be an independent risk factor for duration of mechanical ventilation, length of stay ICU, and ICU mortality.
In particular, we compared time for surveillance and patients' duration of mechanical ventilation, length of stay in the intensive care unit and hospital, and mortality.
Secondary endpoints included microbiologic cure, duration of mechanical ventilation, length of stay, and hospital mortality.
Secondary endpoints included incident VAP, duration of mechanical ventilation, length of ICU stay, and rate of mortality.
Secondary outcomes included ICU mortality, duration of mechanical ventilation, length of ICU stay, antibiotic-free days, and mechanical ventilation-free day.
