The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of early tracheostomy on clinical outcomes in patients requiring prolonged acute mechanical ventilation (≥96 hours).
Data from 575 patients (69.4% male; median age, 68 years), hospitalized in the medical intensive care unit (ICU) of a university-affiliated tertiary care hospital March 2008-February 2017, were retrospectively evaluated. Early and late tracheostomy were designated as 2-10 days and >10 days after translaryngeal intubation, respectively.
The 90-day cumulative mortality rate was 47.5% (n=273) and 258 patients (44.9%) underwent tracheostomy. In comparison with the late group (n=115), the early group (n=125) had lower 90-day mortality (31.2% vs. 47.8%, p=0.012), shorter stays in hospital and ICU, shorter ventilator length of stay (median, 43 vs. 54; 24 vs. 33; 23 vs. 28 days; all p<0.001), and a higher rate of transfer to secondary care hospitals with post-intensive care settings (67.2% vs. 43.5% p<0.001). Also, the total medical costs of the early group were lower during hospital stays than those of the late group (26,609 vs. 36,973 USD, p<0.001).
Early tracheostomy was associated with lower 90-day mortality, shorter ventilator length of stay and shorter lengths of stays in hospital and ICU, as well as lower hospital costs than late tracheostomy.
本研究旨在调查早期气管切开术对需要长期急性机械通气(≥96小时)患者临床结局的影响。
回顾性评估了2008年3月至2017年2月在一所大学附属三级护理医院的医学重症监护病房(ICU)住院的575例患者(男性占69.4%;中位年龄68岁)的数据。早期和晚期气管切开术分别定义为经喉插管后2 - 10天和>10天。
90天累积死亡率为47.5%(n = 273),258例患者(44.9%)接受了气管切开术。与晚期组(n = 115)相比,早期组(n = 125)的90天死亡率更低(31.2%对47.8%,p = 0.012),住院和ICU停留时间更短,呼吸机使用时间更短(中位时间分别为43天对54天;24天对33天;23天对28天;所有p < 0.001),转至设有重症监护后护理设施的二级护理医院的比例更高(67.2%对43.5%,p < 0.001)。此外,早期组住院期间的总医疗费用低于晚期组(26,609美元对36,973美元,p < 0.001)。
与晚期气管切开术相比,早期气管切开术与90天死亡率降低、呼吸机使用时间缩短、住院和ICU停留时间缩短以及住院费用降低相关。
