The phrase "ventilator time" is correct and can be used in written English.
It is typically used in medical or healthcare contexts to refer to the amount of time a patient has spent on a ventilator. An example sentence using this phrase could be: "The patient's health has greatly improved, and they have been able to reduce their ventilator time by half."
Moller and coworkers [ 66] found that patients who required prolonged mechanical ventilation had a lower incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia, less ventilator time, and lower length of stay in the ICU when tracheostomy was performed within 7 days after admission to the surgical ICU.
The objectives of this study are (1) to describe demographics, clinical features, physiologic parameters, and prognosis of patients on mechanical ventilation admitted to the Intensive Care Unit of Hospital Moinhos de Vento; and (2) to identify predictors of mortality and ventilator time.
The length of stay (LOS) and ventilator time are expressed in terms of medians and quartiles.
Possible risk factors for chronic pain at 1 year were increased severity of illness, organ failure, ventilator time >12 days, and ICU length of stay >15 days.
These include mortality, LOS and ventilator time.
Patients on ventilators who were transferred in were also excluded due to unknown ventilator time.
Although our results showed a nonsignificant difference in mortality, there was a trend towards shorter ventilator times in patients ventilated with lower tidal volumes.
Therefore, early infection or pneumonia had no impact on different mechanical ventilator times between the groups.
In addition, the initiation of spontaneous breathing trials required a physician order, a step that promotes inefficiency and prolongs ventilator times [ 8].
The age, gender, primary diagnosis, ICU stay and mechanical ventilator times, APACHE II, Glasgow Coma Scale and SOFA scores, and mortality ratios of patients were taken and compared according to the time period.
No statistically significant difference among the three groups was found in terms of age, gender, primary diagnosis, ICU stay and mechanical ventilator times, and APACHE II, Glasgow Coma Scale and SOFA scores.
