We examined the process of decannulation following tracheostomy in patients transferred to a long-term acute care (LTAC) hospital for weaning from prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV).
A retrospective chart review of 135 patients.
Decannulation was successful in 35% of patients a median of 45 days (IQR, 32-76) following tracheostomy. Patients who failed decannulation had a tracheostomy tube placed earlier (14 days; IQR 11-18 vs. 18 days; IQR 14-30, P=.04) and had a shorter length of stay at the acute facility (20 days; IQR, 16-23 vs. 31 days; IQR 24-45, P=.003) compared with patients who were decannulated. Length of stay and cost of care at the LTAC did not differ with decannulation status. At 3.5 years, 35% (47/135) of all patients and 62% (29/47) of decannulated patients were alive.
Decannulation was achieved in 35% of patients transferred to an LTAC for weaning from prolonged mechanical ventilation.
我们研究了转至长期急性护理(LTAC)医院以脱离长期机械通气(PMV)的患者气管切开术后的拔管过程。
对135例患者进行回顾性病历审查。
35%的患者在气管切开术后中位45天(四分位间距,32 - 76天)成功拔管。与成功拔管的患者相比,拔管失败的患者气管切开管置入时间更早(14天;四分位间距11 - 18天对18天;四分位间距14 - 30天,P = 0.04),且在急性护理机构的住院时间更短(20天;四分位间距16 - 23天对31天;四分位间距24 - 45天,P = 0.003)。LTAC的住院时间和护理费用与拔管状态无关。在3.5年时,所有患者中有35%(47/135)存活,成功拔管的患者中有62%(29/47)存活。
转至LTAC以脱离长期机械通气的患者中,35%实现了拔管。
