Official title
The Difference and Prognostic Significance of Lung Ventilation and Perfusion in Different Phenotypes of Chronic Critical Illness With Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation
Overview
This project will conduct a series of analysis of physiological and clinical data on tracheostomy patients who receive prolonged mechanical ventilation, hoping to find out the different manifestations of patients through the investigation by a variety of physiologic measurements, so as to understand whether different types of patients phenotype to derive different clinical strategies for liberation of the mechanical ventilator.
Primary outcome measures
- Liberation from mechanical ventilation at discharge from the weaning unit [Time frame: Five days]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
- Patients with at least 10 days of mechanical ventilation at the intensive care unit of National Taiwan University Hospital and transferred to the Respiratory Care Center of National Taiwan University Hospital for weaning training
- Patients who have undergone tracheostomy and still have a tracheotomy tube
- Are at least 20 years old
- Stable respiratory condition with inspired oxygen fraction not exceeding 50%
Exclusion criteria
- Hemodynamic instability or continuous use of vasopressors
- Pregnancy
Criteria are shown verbatim from the registry (in English). Final eligibility is always assessed by the study center.
