Article Synopsis
- The study examined the clinical features and outcomes of 103 patients with acute neurological issues (like stroke and brain trauma) who required prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) at a hospital in Taiwan from 2011 to 2014.
- Weaning success, defined as being off the ventilator for more than 5 days, occurred in 61% of patients, while 39% experienced weaning failure, which was linked to older age, lower Glasgow Coma Scale scores, and longer hospital stays.
- The research concludes that a lower Glasgow Coma Scale score is a significant predictor of weaning failure and associated with higher in-hospital mortality in these patients.
