Outcome and Predictors of Mortality of Patients on Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation

Sponsor: Wollo University

Summary

Prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) and weaning failure are factors associated with prolonged hospital length of stay and increased morbidity and mortality. In addition to the individual challenges that stress patients and their families, the resource-intensive care these patients receive places a significant burden on the public health system. These burdens often persist over the long term, especially in the case of weaning failure with subsequent home mechanical ventilation (HMV). This study will provide invaluable and in-depth knowledge of major sources of admission to ICU and will clarify the cause for the outcomes seen after prolonged mechanical ventilation in ICU admission, at Dessie comprehensive Hospital, the result of our study will also serve as a source or baseline information for future valuable researches to be undergone around the subject of interest.
