Resource use, characteristics and outcomes of prolonged non-invasive ventilation: a single-centre observational study in China.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To report the resource use, characteristics and outcomes of patients with prolonged non-invasive ventilation (NIV).

Design

A single-centre observational study.

Setting

An intensive care unit of a teaching hospital.

Participants

Patients who only received NIV because of acute respiratory failure were enrolled. Prolonged NIV was defined as subjects who received NIV ≥14 days. A total of 1539 subjects were enrolled in this study; 69 (4.5%) underwent prolonged NIV.

Main outcome measures

Predictors of prolonged NIV and hospital mortality.

Results

The rate of do-not-intubate (DNI) orders was 9.1% (140/1539). At the beginning of NIV, a DNI order (OR 3.95, 95% CI 2.25 to 6.95) and pH ≥7.35 (2.20, 1.27 to 3.82) were independently associated with p
