Adherence to lung protective mechanical ventilation in patients admitted to a surgical intensive care unit and the associated increased mortality.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The adherence rate to the lung protective ventilation (LPV) strategy, which is generally accepted as a standard practice in mechanically ventilated patients, reported in the literature is approximately 40%. This study aimed to determine the adherence rate to the LPV strategy, factors associated with this adherence, and related clinical outcomes in mechanically ventilated patients admitted to the surgical intensive care unit (SICU).

Methods

This prospective observational study was conducted in the SICU of a tertiary university-based hospital between April 2018 and February 2019. Three hundred and six adult patients admitted to the SICU who required mechanical ventilation support for more than 12 h were included. Ventilator parameters at the initiation of mechanical
