Outcomes for Mechanically Ventilated Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction Admitted to Medical vs Cardiac Intensive Care Units.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) remains a common reason for admission to the intensive care unit (ICU). However, there is limited data comparing outcomes for patients with AMI admitted to specific ICUs.

Objectives

The purpose of this study was to assess clinical outcomes between patients with AMI requiring invasive mechanical ventilation admitted to the medical ICU (MICU) compared to cardiac (CICU).

Methods

We utilized the Vizient Clinical Data Base to identify patients with a primary diagnosis of AMI between October 2015 and December 2019 and requiring invasive mechanical ventilation. Using multivariable logistic regression, we compared clinical outcomes for patients admitted to the MICU vs CICU.

Results

We identified 12,639 patients, 25.2% (n = 3
