Respiratory Failure

Patients receiving mechanical ventilation who underwent early active mobilization at a higher dose than usual did not survive significantly longer than patients with standard mobilization, according to study results.

Different oxygen saturation targets ranging from 90% to 98% did not significantly impact days alive without a mechanical ventilator among adults in the ICU or ED, according to a study published in The New England Journal of Medicine.

From 2012 to 2018, bronchoscopy use increased among hospitalized patients in the U.S. treated with invasive mechanical ventilation, researchers reported in Chest.

Invasive mechanical ventilation improved 30-day survival in patients with advanced dementia hospitalized with pneumonia compared with noninvasive ventilation, despite lack of 1-year survival benefit and higher health care costs.

In a new study, researchers reported systematic racial differences in ICU admission patterns among patients with acute respiratory failure and sepsis who are Asian, Pacific Islander and Hispanic.

Among hospitalized patients with respiratory failure, those with COVID-19 who required mechanical ventilation and tracheostomy were more likely to recover compared with those without COVID-19, according to data published in Chest.

Perceived social support may benefit survivors of acute respiratory failure and other critical illnesses, researchers reported in Annals of the American Thoracic Society.

The incidence of new disability and related outcomes at 6 months was similar between patients mechanically ventilated for COVID-19-related acute respiratory failure and other critically ill patients without COVID-19, researchers reported.

COVID-19 survivors face a significantly higher risk than control patients for developing conditions affecting major system of the body, according to a study of nearly 2 million patients.
