Epidemiology of Weaning From Invasive Mechanical Ventilation in Subjects With COVID-19.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patients requiring mechanical ventilation due to COVID-19 have different characteristics of evolution and outcome compared to the general ICU population. Although early weaning from mechanical ventilation is associated with improved outcomes, inadequate identification of patients unable to be weaned may lead to extubation failure and increased days on mechanical ventilation. Outcomes related to mechanical ventilation weaning in this population are scare and inconclusive. Therefore, the objective of this study was to describe the characteristics of mechanical ventilation weaning in subjects with acute respiratory failure induced by COVID-19.

Methods

This was a multi-center, prospective cohort study. We included adult subjects requiring at least 12 h of mechanical v
