Background: Information is lacking regarding long-term survival and predictive factors for mortality in patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure due to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation. We aimed to estimate 180-day mortality of patients with COVID-19 requiring invasive ventilation, and to develop a predictive model for long-term mortality.
Methods: Retrospective, multicentre, national cohort study between March 8 and April 30, 2020 in 16 intensive care units (ICU) in Spain.
Background: During the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, shortages of ventilators and ICU beds overwhelmed health care systems. Whether early tracheostomy reduces the duration of mechanical ventilation and ICU stay is controversial.
Research Question: Can failure-free day outcomes focused on ICU resources help to decide the optimal timing of tracheostomy in overburdened health care systems during viral epidemics?
Study Design And Methods: This retrospective cohort study included consecutive patients with COVID-19 pneumonia who had undergone tracheostomy in 15 Spanish ICUs during the surge, when ICU occupancy modified clinician criteria to perform tracheostomy in Patients with COVID-19.
Introduction: Critical patients, despite initial recovery in the intensive care unit (ICU), may require readmission to the ICU or even die in the same hospital episode. The objectives are to determine the incidence and to identify risk factors for ICU readmission, and to determine hospital mortality.
Methods: Observational cohort study of all patients admitted consecutively for more than 24hours to the ICU of the University Hospital of Getafe between April 1, 2018 and September 30, 2018 and discharged alive from their first ICU admission.
