Successful Versus Failed Transition From Controlled Ventilation to Pressure Support Ventilation in COVID-19 Patients: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

In patients with COVID-19 respiratory failure, controlled mechanical ventilation (CMV) is often necessary during the acute phases of the disease. Weaning from CMV to pressure support ventilation (PSV) is a key objective when the patient's respiratory functions improve. Limited evidence exists regarding the factors predicting a successful transition to PSV and its impact on patient outcomes.

Design

Retrospective observational cohort study.

Setting

Twenty-four Italian ICUs from February 2020 to May 2020.

Patients

Mechanically ventilated ICU patients with COVID-19-induced respiratory failure.

Intervention

The transition period from CMV to PSV was evaluated. We defined it as "failure of assisted breathing" if the patient returned to CMV within the
