An interaction between atrial fibrillation and an ejection fraction of greater than 40% for mortality, stroke, prolonged ventilation, and prolonged length of stay was identified.
Multiple studies have also noted that young age, prolonged ventilation support and prolonged use of sedative/analgesic drugs are risk factors for re-intubation [ 2, 5, 10, 11].
Delirium after cardiac surgery is associated with a prolonged length of stay in the ICU, prolonged ventilation time and higher in-hospital mortality.
FTR was defined as death after four complications: stroke, renal failure, reoperation, and prolonged ventilation.
Introduction: During weaning from prolonged ventilation overload of diaphragm as main breathing muscle should be avoided.
In contrast, Casaer showed that more patients needed prolonged ventilation in the EPN group [13].
Similarly, Blokpoel et al. did not observe prolonged ventilation in patients with higher levels of asynchrony.
The main outcome measure was all-cause mortality or major morbidity (e.g., stroke, renal failure, prolonged ventilation, deep sternal wound infection, or reoperation) occurring during the index hospitalization.
Among ONCAB cases only, women had a significantly greater adjusted risk of death, prolonged ventilation, and long length of stay than men.
Risk models were developed (c-indexes for stroke [0.72], renal failure [0.76], reoperation [0.64], prolonged ventilation [0.75], sternal infection [0.66], and the composite endpoint [0.71]).
None of the other scores significantly predicted prolonged ventilation after adjusting for covariates in a multiple regression.
