Abstract
Patients requiring mechanical ventilation (MV) beyond 21 days, usually referred to as prolonged MV, represent a unique group with significant medical needs and a generally poor prognosis. Research suggests that approximately 10% of all MV patients will need prolonged ventilatory care, and that number will continue to rise. Although we have extensive knowledge of MV in the acute care setting, less is known about care in the post-ICU setting. More than 50% of patients who were deemed unweanable in the ICU will be liberated from MV in the post-acute setting. Prolonged MV also presents a challenge in care for medically complex, elderly, socioeconomically disadvantaged and marginalized individuals, usually at the end of their life. Patients and their families often rely on ventilator weaning facilities and skilled nursing homes for the continuation of care, but home ventilation is becoming more common. The focus of this review is to discuss recent advances in the weaning strategies in prolonged MV, present their outcomes and provide insight into the complexity of care.

Abstract
Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) remains a significant clinical entity with reported incidence rates of 7% to 15%. Given the considerable adverse consequences associated with this infection, VAP prevention became a core measure required in most US hospitals. Many institutions took pride in implementing effective VAP prevention bundles that combined at least head of bed elevation, hand hygiene, chlorhexidine oral care, and subglottic drainage. Spontaneous breathing and awakening trials have also consistently been shown to shorten the duration of mechanical ventilation and secondarily reduce the occurrence of VAP.

Abstract
Mechanical ventilation weaning within intensive care units (ICU) is a difficult process, while crucial when considering its impact on morbidity and mortality. Failed extubation and prolonged mechanical ventilation both carry a significant risk of adverse events. We aimed to determine predictive factors of extubation success using data-mining and artificial intelligence. A prospective physiological and biomedical signal data warehousing project. A 21-beds medical Intensive Care Unit of a University Hospital. Adult patients undergoing weaning from mechanical ventilation. Hemodynamic and respiratory parameters of mechanically ventilated patients were prospectively collected and combined with clinical outcome data. One hundred and eight patients were included, for 135 spontaneous breathing trials (SBT) allowing to identify physiological parameters either measured before or during the trial and considered as predictive for extubation success. The Early-Warning Score Oxygen (EWSO2) enables to discriminate patients deemed to succeed extubation, at 72-h and 7-days. Cut-off values for EWSO2 (AUC = 0.80; Se = 0.75; Sp = 0.76), mean arterial pressure and heart-rate variability parameters were determined. A predictive model for extubation success was established including body-mass index (BMI) on inclusion, occlusion pressure at 0,1 s. (P0.1) and heart-rate analysis parameters (LF/HF) both measured before SBT, and heart rate during SBT (global performance 62%; 83%). The data-mining process enabled to detect independent predictive factors for extubation success and to develop a dynamic predictive model using artificial intelligence. Such predictive tools may help clinicians to better discriminate patients deemed to succeed extubation and thus improve clinical performance.

Implementation of coordinated spontaneous awakening and breathing trials using telehealth-enabled, real-time audit and feedback for clinician adherence (TEACH): a type II hybrid effectiveness-implementation cluster-randomized trial. Implement Sci 2023; 18:45.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intensive care unit (ICU) patients on mechanical ventilation often require sedation and analgesia to improve comfort and decrease pain. Prolonged sedation and analgesia, however, may increase time on mechanical ventilation, risk for ventilator associated pneumonia, and delirium. Coordinated interruptions in sedation [spontaneous awakening trials (SATs)] and spontaneous breathing trials (SBTs) increase ventilator-free days and improve mortality. Coordination of SATs and SBTs is difficult with substantial implementation barriers due to difficult-to-execute sequencing between nurses and respiratory therapists. Telehealth-enabled remote care has the potential to overcome these barriers and improve coordinated SAT and SBT adherence by enabling proactive high-risk patient monitoring, surveillance, and real-time assistance to frontline ICU teams. METHODS The telehealth-enabled, real-time audit and feedback for clinician adherence (TEACH) study will determine whether adding a telehealth augmented real-time audit and feedback to a usual supervisor-led audit and feedback intervention will yield higher coordinated SAT and SBT adherence and more ventilator-free days in mechanically ventilated patients than a usual supervisor-led audit and feedback intervention alone in a type II hybrid effectiveness-implementation cluster-randomized clinical trial in 12 Intermountain Health hospitals with 15 ICUs. In the active comparator control group (six hospitals), the only intervention is the usual supervisor-led audit and feedback implementation. The telehealth-enabled support (TEACH) intervention in six hospitals adds real-time identification of patients eligible for a coordinated SAT and SBT and consultative input from telehealth respiratory therapists, nurses, and physicians to the bedside clinicians to promote adherence including real-time assistance with execution. All intubated and mechanically ventilated patients ≥ 16 years of age are eligible for enrollment except for patients who die on the day of intubation or have preexisting brain death. Based on preliminary power analyses, we plan a 36-month intervention period that includes a 90-day run-in period. Estimated enrollment in the final analysis is up to 9900 mechanically ventilated patients over 33 months. DISCUSSION The TEACH study will enhance implementation science by providing insight into how a telehealth intervention augmenting a usual audit and feedback implementation may improve adherence to coordinated SAT and SBT and increase ventilator-free days.

BMC Anesthesiol 2023; 23:313. [PMID: 37715183 PMCID: PMC10503077 DOI: 10.1186/s12871-023-02274-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2023] [Accepted: 09/10/2023] [Indexed: 09/17/2023] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE Critically ill patients with sepsis account for significant disease morbidity and healthcare costs. Low muscle mass has been proposed as an independent risk factor for poor short-term outcomes, although its effect on long-term outcomes remains unclear. METHODS Retrospective cohort analysis of patients treated at a quaternary care medical center over 6 years (09/2014 - 12/2020). Critically ill patients meeting Sepsis-3 criteria were included, with low muscle mass defined by [Formula: see text] 5th percentile skeletal muscle index, measured at the L3 lumbar level (L3SMI) on Computed-Tomography (CT) scan ([Formula: see text] 41.6 cm2/m2 for males and [Formula: see text] 32.0 cm2/m2 for females). L3SMI was calculated by normalizing the CT-measured skeletal muscle area to the square of the patient's height (in meters). Measurements were taken from abdominal/pelvic CT scan obtained within 7 days of sepsis onset. The prevalence of low muscle mass and its association with clinical outcomes, including in-hospital and one-year mortality, and post-hospitalization discharge disposition in survivors, was analyzed. Unfavorable post-hospitalization disposition was defined as discharge to a location other than the patient's home. RESULTS Low muscle mass was present in 34 (23%) of 150 patients, with mean skeletal muscle indices of 28.0 ± 2.9 cm2/m2 and 36.8 ± 3.3 cm2/m2 in females and males, respectively. While low muscle mass was not a significant risk factor for in-hospital mortality (hazard ratio 1.33; 95% CI 0.64 - 2.76; p = 0.437), it significantly increased one-year mortality after adjusting for age and illness severity using Cox multivariate regression (hazard ratio 1.9; 95% CI 1.1 - 3.2; p = 0.014). Unfavorable post-hospitalization discharge disposition was not associated with low muscle mass, after adjusting for age and illness severity in a single, multivariate model. CONCLUSION Low muscle mass independently predicts one-year mortality but is not associated with in-hospital mortality or unfavorable hospital discharge disposition in critically ill patients with sepsis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Assessment of mechanical ventilator (MV) weaning is a complex process that requires education for nurses. This scoping review aimed to clarify the effects of MV weaning education on intensive care unit nurses and patient outcomes. METHOD Four databases were searched. The inclusion criteria were studies on MV weaning education for nurses, outcome measures for patients or nurses, and quantitative research. RESULTS In total, 663 studies were identified. The criteria for a full review (n = 15) were educational protocols (n = 13) and the Burns Wean Assessment Program (n = 2). Patient outcomes determined the MV duration. The weaning protocol was convenient for nurses. Nevertheless, their clinical judgment skills must be improved, regardless of the availability of a protocol. Education is crucial for producing positive outcomes. CONCLUSION Education for nurses on MV weaning showed shortened MV duration. No significant effects were found for other outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE Development of protocolized care in the intensive care unit (ICU) improves patient outcomes, but presents multiple challenges. A mechanical ventilation weaning protocol (WP) was adopted in our institution but was underused. This study aimed to determine the factors that influenced the implementation of this protocol locally. METHODS We performed a qualitative descriptive study using semidirected interviews in small profession-specific focus groups. The interviews were based on a standardized guide covering the major domains found in the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research. A total of 32 participants across four key professions were recruited. The interviews were transcribed and codified sequentially, followed by categorization and analysis. RESULTS Three broad factors emerged that negatively impacted the implementation of the WP. First, the goals of the WP differed between professional groups. This difference led to significant frustration and breaches in collaboration. Second, there was a lack of a continuous quality improvement process. Third, the WP was incompatible with the routine and procedures already in place at the time of implementation. Time-of-day of WP application and patient safety concerns were specifically identified issues. CONCLUSIONS Implementation of a continuous improvement process with regular and specific follow-up may help identify potential challenges and thus help ensure a more consistent use of the WP.

An artificial intelligence system to predict the optimal timing for mechanical ventilation weaning for intensive care unit patients: A two-stage prediction approach. Front Med (Lausanne) 2022; 9:935366. [PMID: 36465940 PMCID: PMC9715756 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2022.935366] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/03/2022] [Accepted: 10/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Background For the intensivists, accurate assessment of the ideal timing for successful weaning from the mechanical ventilation (MV) in the intensive care unit (ICU) is very challenging. Purpose Using artificial intelligence (AI) approach to build two-stage predictive models, namely, the try-weaning stage and weaning MV stage to determine the optimal timing of weaning from MV for ICU intubated patients, and implement into practice for assisting clinical decision making. Methods AI and machine learning (ML) technologies were used to establish the predictive models in the stages. Each stage comprised 11 prediction time points with 11 prediction models. Twenty-five features were used for the first-stage models while 20 features were used for the second-stage models. The optimal models for each time point were selected for further practical implementation in a digital dashboard style. Seven machine learning algorithms including Logistic Regression (LR), Random Forest (RF), Support Vector Machines (SVM), K Nearest Neighbor (KNN), lightGBM, XGBoost, and Multilayer Perception (MLP) were used. The electronic medical records of the intubated ICU patients of Chi Mei Medical Center (CMMC) from 2016 to 2019 were included for modeling. Models with the highest area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) were regarded as optimal models and used to develop the prediction system accordingly. Results A total of 5,873 cases were included in machine learning modeling for Stage 1 with the AUCs of optimal models ranging from 0.843 to 0.953. Further, 4,172 cases were included for Stage 2 with the AUCs of optimal models ranging from 0.889 to 0.944. A prediction system (dashboard) with the optimal models of the two stages was developed and deployed in the ICU setting. Respiratory care members expressed high recognition of the AI dashboard assisting ventilator weaning decisions. Also, the impact analysis of with- and without-AI assistance revealed that our AI models could shorten the patients' intubation time by 21 hours, besides gaining the benefit of substantial consistency between these two decision-making strategies. Conclusion We noticed that the two-stage AI prediction models could effectively and precisely predict the optimal timing to wean intubated patients in the ICU from ventilator use. This could reduce patient discomfort, improve medical quality, and lower medical costs. This AI-assisted prediction system is beneficial for clinicians to cope with a high demand for ventilators during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Respiratory therapy is an emerging profession that has existed in India since 1995. Respiratory therapy students will play a significant role in strengthening various aspects of healthcare in the future. There are no validated instruments to evaluate students' perceptions of their careers and satisfaction with the learning resources. The primary objective of the current study is to develop and validate a structured questionnaire (SQ) for respiratory therapy students in India, encompassing all the components of their career development and satisfaction. METHODS Based on the literature review and content validity from respiratory therapy experts through multiple focused group discussions, a reliable SQ was generated with 40 items based on the Likert scale. After getting institutional ethics clearance and informed consent, the SQ was administered to 904 respiratory therapy students across the country. We performed principal component analysis (PCA), structural equation modeling, and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) for the global fit. Cronbach's alpha was performed to estimate the internal consistency. RESULTS The PCA generated a 4-factor model, and internal consistency for the total scale exceeded the standard criterion of >0.70. Satisfactory goodness of fit data were yielded from CFA. Average variances extracted were higher than the correlation coefficients of the factors, which show sufficient discriminant validity. CONCLUSION This study shows a clinically acceptable model, it fits and suggests the possibility of applying a SQ to a respiratory therapy student with relatively good construct validity and internal consistency, based on the results of CFA.

Abstract
Since the inception of critical care medicine and artificial ventilation, literature and research on weaning has transformed daily patient care in intensive care units (ICU). As our knowledge of mechanical ventilation (MV) improved, so did the need to study patient-ventilator interactions and weaning predictors. Randomized trials have evaluated the use of protocol-based weaning (vs. usual care) to study the duration of MV in ICUs, different techniques to conduct spontaneous breathing trials (SBT), and strategies to eventually extubate a patient whose initial SBT failed. Despite considerable milestones in the management of multiple diseases contributing to reversible respiratory failure, in the application of early rehabilitative interventions to preserve muscle integrity, and in ventilator technology that mitigates against ventilator injury and dyssynchrony, major barriers to successful liberation from MV persist. This review provides a broad encompassing view of weaning classification, causes of weaning failure, and evidence behind weaning predictors and weaning modes.

Abstract
Background The joint committee of the Japanese Society of Intensive Care Medicine/Japanese Respiratory Society/Japanese Society of Respiratory Care Medicine on ARDS Clinical Practice Guideline has created and released the ARDS Clinical Practice Guideline 2021. Methods The 2016 edition of the Clinical Practice Guideline covered clinical questions (CQs) that targeted only adults, but the present guideline includes 15 CQs for children in addition to 46 CQs for adults. As with the previous edition, we used a systematic review method with the Grading of Recommendations Assessment Development and Evaluation (GRADE) system as well as a degree of recommendation determination method. We also conducted systematic reviews that used meta-analyses of diagnostic accuracy and network meta-analyses as a new method. Results Recommendations for adult patients with ARDS are described: we suggest against using serum C-reactive protein and procalcitonin levels to identify bacterial pneumonia as the underlying disease (GRADE 2D); we recommend limiting tidal volume to 4–8 mL/kg for mechanical ventilation (GRADE 1D); we recommend against managements targeting an excessively low SpO2 (PaO2) (GRADE 2D); we suggest against using transpulmonary pressure as a routine basis in positive end-expiratory pressure settings (GRADE 2B); we suggest implementing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for those with severe ARDS (GRADE 2B); we suggest against using high-dose steroids (GRADE 2C); and we recommend using low-dose steroids (GRADE 1B). The recommendations for pediatric patients with ARDS are as follows: we suggest against using non-invasive respiratory support (non-invasive positive pressure ventilation/high-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy) (GRADE 2D), we suggest placing pediatric patients with moderate ARDS in the prone position (GRADE 2D), we suggest against routinely implementing NO inhalation therapy (GRADE 2C), and we suggest against implementing daily sedation interruption for pediatric patients with respiratory failure (GRADE 2D). Conclusions This article is a translated summary of the full version of the ARDS Clinical Practice Guideline 2021 published in Japanese (URL: https://www.jsicm.org/publication/guideline.html). The original text, which was written for Japanese healthcare professionals, may include different perspectives from healthcare professionals of other countries.

Abstract
Abstract
Objective Objective tools such as spontaneous breathing trials (SBT) aim to identify patients ready for extubation and shorten the length of mechanical ventilation (MV). Despite passing an SBT, patients sometimes are not extubated based on clinicians' subjective impressions. In this article, we explored the factors that influence the decision to extubate among pediatric intensivists and their association with objective criteria.
Design This is a single-center prospective observational study.
Setting This study was conducted in an academic, multidisciplinary 20-bed pediatric intensive care unit (PICU).
Patients The study group involves mechanically ventilated, orally intubated patients admitted to the PICU from January 1 to June 30, 2019.
Measurements and Main Results Objective clinical data were collected for 650 MV days. Attending surveys about extubation readiness were completed for 419 (64.5%) MV days and 63 extubation events. Extubation occurred on 42% of days after passing an SBT. The primary reasons patients who passed an SBT were not extubated on days were unresolved lung pathology (66.6%) and fluid overload (37.6%). On days without extubation, there was no association between a specific reason for not extubating and SBT result (p > 0.05).
Conclusions In this single-center study, the decision to extubate was not strongly associated with passing an SBT, indicating that clinician impressions, namely unresolved lung pathology and fluid overload, outweighed objective measures for determining extubation readiness. To mitigate morbidities and costs associated with unnecessarily prolonged intubations, a better-defined extubation readiness process is needed to guide the decision to extubate in the pediatric population.

Abstract
Ventilation is one of the most common procedures in critically ill children admitted to the pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) and is associated with potential severe side effects. The longer the mechanical ventilation, the higher the risk of infections, mortality, morbidity and length of stay. Protocol-based approaches to ventilation weaning could have potential benefit in assisting the physicians in the weaning process but, in pediatrics, clear significant outcome difference related to their use has yet to be shown. Extubation failure occurs in up to 20% of patients in PICU with evidences demonstrating its occurrence related to a worse patient outcome including higher mortality. Various clinical approaches have been described to decide the best timing for extubation which can usually be achieved by performing a spontaneous breathing trial before the extubation. No clear evidence is available over which technique best predicts extubation failure. Within this review we summarize the current strategies of ventilation weaning and extubation readiness evaluation employed in the pediatric setting in order to provide an updated view on the topic to guide intensive care physicians in daily clinical practice. We performed a thorough literature search of main online scientific databases to identify principal studies evaluating different strategies of ventilation weaning and extubation readiness including pediatric patients receiving mechanical ventilation. Various strategies are available in the literature both for ventilation weaning and extubation readiness assessment with unclear clear data supporting the superiority of any approach over the others.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mechanical ventilation (MV) is an important lifesaving method in intensive care unit (ICU). Prolonged MV is associated with ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) and other complications. However, premature weaning from MV may lead to higher risk of reintubation or mortality. Therefore, timely and safe weaning from MV is important. In addition, identification of the right patient and performing a suitable weaning process is necessary. Although several guidelines about weaning have been reported, compliance with these guidelines is unknown. Therefore, the aim of this study is to explore the variation of weaning in China, associations between initial MV reason and clinical outcomes, and factors associated with weaning strategies using a multicenter cohort. METHODS This multicenter retrospective cohort study will be conducted at 17 adult ICUs in China, that included patients who were admitted in this 17 ICUs between October 2020 and February 2021. Patients under 18 years of age and patients without the possibility for weaning will be excluded. The questionnaire information will be registered by a specific clinician in each center who has been evaluated and qualified to carry out the study. DISCUSSION In a previous observational study of weaning in 17 ICUs in China, weaning practices varies nationally. Therefore, a multicenter retrospective cohort study is necessary to be conducted to explore the present weaning methods used in China. TRIAL REGISTRATION Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR) (No. ChiCTR2100044634).

Abstract
Background Identifying ventilated patients ready for extubation is a challenge for clinicians. Premature extubation increases risks of reintubation while delayed weaning increases complications of prolonged ventilation. We compared the duration of mechanical ventilation (MV) and extubation failure in children extubated using a weaning protocol based on pressure support spontaneous breathing trial (PS SBT) vs those extubated after nonprotocolized physician-directed weaning. Patients and methods A prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted in the pediatric intensive care unit of a tertiary care hospital in children ventilated for ≥24 hours. All eligible patients underwent daily screening and were randomized once found fit. The intervention group underwent PS SBT of 2 hours duration followed by a T-piece trial and extubation. Controls underwent conventional weaning with synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation mode and a T-piece trial before extubation. Results Eighty patients were randomized into two groups of 40 each. About 77.5% of patients passed the PS SBT on the first attempt. No statistical difference was found either in the duration of MV between the two groups [median (interquartile range) in days: 4.77 (2.89, 9.46) in controls and 4.94 (2.23, 6.35) in cases, p = 0.62] or in the rate of extubation failure (13% and 10.5%, p = 1). Mortality was found to be significantly higher in the reintubated patients compared to those not reintubated in both groups (p = 0.002 in cases and 0.005 in controls). Conclusion Weaning using PS SBT-based protocol though did not shorten the duration of MV, it was found to be safe for assessing extubation readiness and did not increase extubation failure (CTRI no—CTRI/2018/04/013270).

A Daily, Respiratory Therapist Assessment of Readiness to Liberate From Venovenous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation in Patients With Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome. Crit Care Explor 2021; 3:e0584. [PMID: 34881366 PMCID: PMC8647875 DOI: 10.1097/cce.0000000000000584] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 01/19/2023] Open
Abstract
We assessed the effect of implementing a protocol-directed strategy to determine when patients can be liberated from venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation duration, time to initiation of first sweep-off trial, duration of mechanical ventilation, ICU length of stay, hospital length of stay, and survival to hospital discharge. Design Single-center retrospective before and after study. Setting The medical ICU at an academic medical center. Patients One-hundred eighty patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome managed with venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation at a single institution from 2013 to 2019. Interventions In 2016, our institution implemented a daily assessment of readiness for a trial off extracorporeal membrane oxygenation sweep gas ("sweep-off trial"). When patients met prespecified criteria, the respiratory therapist performed a sweep-off trial to determine readiness for discontinuation of venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Measurements and Main Results Sixty-seven patients were treated before implementation of the sweep-off trial protocol, and 113 patients were treated after implementation. Patients managed using the sweep-off trial protocol had a significantly shorter extracorporeal membrane oxygenation duration (5.5 d [3-11 d] vs 11 d [7-15.5 d]; p < 0.001), time to first sweep-off trial (2.5 d [1-5 d] vs 7.0 d [5-11 d]; p < 0.001), duration of mechanical ventilation (15.0 d [9-31 d] vs 25 d [21-33 d]; p = 0.017), and ICU length of stay (18 d [10-33 d] vs 27.0 d [21-36 d]; p = 0.008). There were no observed differences in hospital length of stay or survival to hospital discharge. Conclusions In patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome managed with venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation at our institution, implementation of a daily, respiratory therapist assessment of readiness for a sweep-off trial was associated with a shorter time to first sweep-off trial and shorter duration of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Among survivors, the postassessment group had a reduced duration of mechanical ventilation and ICU lengths of stay. There were no observed differences in hospital length of stay or inhospital mortality.

Abstract
Background Extubation failure is an important issue in ventilated patients and its risk factors remain a matter of research. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to explore factors associated with extubation failure in ventilated patients who passed a spontaneous breathing trial and underwent planned extubation. This systematic review was registered in PROPERO with the Registration ID CRD42019137003. Methods We searched the PubMed, Web of Science and Cochrane Controlled Register of Trials for studies published from January 1998 to December 2018. We included observational studies involving risk factors associated with extubation failure in adult intensive care unit patients who underwent invasive mechanical ventilation. Two authors independently extracted data and assessed the validity of included studies. Results Sixty-seven studies (involving 26,847 participants) met the inclusion criteria and were included in our meta-analysis. We analyzed 49 variables and, among them, we identified 26 factors significantly associated with extubation failure. Risk factors were distributed into three domains (comorbidities, acute disease severity and characteristics at time of extubation) involving mainly three functions (circulatory, respiratory and neurological). Among these, the physiological respiratory characteristics at time of extubation were the most represented. The individual topic of secretion management was the one with the largest number of variables. By Bayesian multivariable meta-analysis, twelve factors were significantly associated with extubation failure: age, history of cardiac disease, history of respiratory disease, Simplified Acute Physiologic Score II score, pneumonia, duration of mechanical ventilation, heart rate, Rapid Shallow Breathing Index, negative inspiratory force, lower PaO2/FiO2 ratio, lower hemoglobin level and lower Glasgow Coma Scale before extubation, with the latest factor having the strongest association with extubation outcome. Conclusions Numerous factors are associated with extubation failure in critically ill patients who have passed a spontaneous breathing trial. Robust multiparametric clinical scores and/or artificial intelligence algorithms should be tested based on the selected independent variables in order to improve the prediction of extubation outcome in the clinical scenario.

Abstract
Weaning from invasive mechanical ventilation is challenging for the ICU team in terms of shortening time of ventilation via endotracheal tube in order to improve the patient's prognosis by early extubation. Thereby prolonged mechanical ventilation (> 14 days), which is associated with risk of tracheotomy and prolonged weaning, shall be avoided. This article will give an overview about weaning categories, causes for weaning failure and strategies to overcome this problem. In the last part we will cover concepts in the process of prolonged weaning including discharge management with invasive mechanical ventilation.

The association between cardiac intensive care unit mechanical ventilation volumes and in-hospital mortality. EUROPEAN HEART JOURNAL. ACUTE CARDIOVASCULAR CARE 2021; 10:797-805.

Abstract
AIMS The incidence of respiratory failure and use of invasive or non-invasive mechanical ventilation (MV) in the cardiac intensive care units (CICUs) is increasing. While institutional MV volumes are associated with reduced mortality in medical and surgical ICUs, this volume-mortality relationship has not been characterized in the CICU. METHODS AND RESULTS National population-based data were used to identify patients admitted to CICUs (2005-2015) requiring MV in Canada. CICUs were categorized into low (≤100), intermediate (101-300), and high (>300) volume centres based on spline knots identified in the association between annual MV volume and mortality. Outcomes of interest included all-cause in-hospital mortality, the proportion of patients requiring prolonged MV (>96 h) and CICU length of stay (LOS). Among 47 173 CICU admissions requiring MV, 89.5% (42 200) required invasive MV. The median annual CICU MV volume was 43 (inter-hospital range 1-490). Compared to low-volume centres (35.9%), in-hospital mortality was lower in intermediate [29.2%, adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 0.84, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.72-0.97, P = 0.019] and high-volume (18.2%; aOR 0.82, 95% CI 0.66-1.02, P = 0.076) centres. Prolonged MV was higher in low-volume (29.2%) compared to high-volume (14.8%, aOR 0.70, 95% CI 0.55-0.89, P = 0.003) and intermediate-volume (23.0%, aOR 0.85, 95% CI 0.68-1.06, P = 0.14] centres. Mortality and prolonged MV were lower in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)-capable and academic centres, but a shorter CICU LOS was observed only in subgroup of PCI-capable intermediate- and high-volume hospitals. CONCLUSIONS In a national dataset, we observed that higher CICU MV volumes were associated with lower incidence of in-hospital mortality, prolonged MV, and CICU LOS. Our data highlight the need for minimum MV volume benchmarks for CICUs caring for patients with respiratory failure.

Abstract
The Japanese Clinical Practice Guidelines for Management of Sepsis and Septic Shock 2020 (J-SSCG 2020), a Japanese-specific set of clinical practice guidelines for sepsis and septic shock created as revised from J-SSCG 2016 jointly by the Japanese Society of Intensive Care Medicine and the Japanese Association for Acute Medicine, was first released in September 2020 and published in February 2021. An English-language version of these guidelines was created based on the contents of the original Japanese-language version. The purpose of this guideline is to assist medical staff in making appropriate decisions to improve the prognosis of patients undergoing treatment for sepsis and septic shock. We aimed to provide high-quality guidelines that are easy to use and understand for specialists, general clinicians, and multidisciplinary medical professionals. J-SSCG 2016 took up new subjects that were not present in SSCG 2016 (e.g., ICU-acquired weakness [ICU-AW], post-intensive care syndrome [PICS], and body temperature management). The J-SSCG 2020 covered a total of 22 areas with four additional new areas (patient- and family-centered care, sepsis treatment system, neuro-intensive treatment, and stress ulcers). A total of 118 important clinical issues (clinical questions, CQs) were extracted regardless of the presence or absence of evidence. These CQs also include those that have been given particular focus within Japan. This is a large-scale guideline covering multiple fields; thus, in addition to the 25 committee members, we had the participation and support of a total of 226 members who are professionals (physicians, nurses, physiotherapists, clinical engineers, and pharmacists) and medical workers with a history of sepsis or critical illness. The GRADE method was adopted for making recommendations, and the modified Delphi method was used to determine recommendations by voting from all committee members.As a result, 79 GRADE-based recommendations, 5 Good Practice Statements (GPS), 18 expert consensuses, 27 answers to background questions (BQs), and summaries of definitions and diagnosis of sepsis were created as responses to 118 CQs. We also incorporated visual information for each CQ according to the time course of treatment, and we will also distribute this as an app. The J-SSCG 2020 is expected to be widely used as a useful bedside guideline in the field of sepsis treatment both in Japan and overseas involving multiple disciplines.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Obesity prevalence is increasing in most countries in the world. In the United States, 42% of the population is obese (body mass index (BMI) > 30) and 9.2% is obese class III (BMI > 40). One of the greatest challenges in critically ill patients with obesity is the optimization of mechanical ventilation. The goal of this review is to describe respiratory physiologic changes in patients with obesity and discuss possible mechanical ventilation strategies to improve respiratory function. RECENT FINDINGS Individualized mechanical ventilation based on respiratory physiology after a decremental positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) trial improves oxygenation and respiratory mechanics. In a recent study, mortality of patients with respiratory failure and obesity was reduced by about 50% when mechanical ventilation was associated with the use of esophageal manometry and electrical impedance tomography (EIT). SUMMARY Obesity greatly alters the respiratory system mechanics causing atelectasis and prolonged duration of mechanical ventilation. At present, novel strategies to ventilate patients with obesity based on individual respiratory physiology showed to be superior to those based on standard universal tables of mechanical ventilation. Esophageal manometry and EIT are essential tools to systematically assess respiratory system mechanics, safely adjust relatively high levels of PEEP, and improve chances for successful weaning.

Premature, Opportune, and Delayed Weaning in Mechanically Ventilated Patients: A Call for Implementation of Weaning Protocols in Low- and Middle-Income Countries. Crit Care Med 2021; 48:673-679.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Weaning protocols establish readiness-to-wean criteria to determine the opportune moment to conduct a spontaneous breathing trial. Weaning protocols have not been widely adopted or evaluated in ICUs in low- and middle-income countries. We sought to compare clinical outcomes between participants whose weaning trials were retrospectively determined to have been premature, opportune, or delayed based on when they met readiness-to-wean criteria. DESIGN Prospective, multicenter observational study. SETTING Five medical ICUs in four public hospitals in Lima, Perú. SUBJECTS Adults with acute respiratory failure and at least 24 hours of invasive mechanical ventilation (n = 1,657). INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS We established six readiness-to-wean criteria and retrospectively categorized our sample into three weaning groups: 1) premature: if the weaning trial took place before fulfilling all criteria, 2) opportune: if the weaning trial took place within 24 hours after fulfilling the criteria, and 3) delayed: if the weaning trial took place over 24 hours after fulfilling criteria. We compared 90-day mortality, ventilator-free days, ICU-free days, and hospital-free days between premature, opportune, and delayed weaning groups. In our sample, 761 participants (60.8%) were classified as having a premature weaning trial, 196 underwent opportune weaning (15.7%), and 295 experienced delayed weaning (23.6%). There was no significant difference in 90-day mortality between the groups. Both the premature and delayed weaning groups had poorer clinical outcomes with fewer ventilator-free days (-2.18, p = 0.008) and (-3.49, p < 0.001), ICU-free days (-2.25, p = 0.001) and (-3.72, p < 0.001), and hospital-free days (-2.76, p = 0.044) and (-4.53, p = 0.004), respectively, compared with the opportune weaning group. CONCLUSIONS Better clinical outcomes occur with opportune weaning compared with premature and delayed weaning. If readiness-to-wean criteria can be applied in resource-limited settings, it may improve ICU outcomes associated with opportune weaning.

Respiratory Support Adjustments and Monitoring of Mechanically Ventilated Patients Performing Early Mobilization: A Scoping Review. Crit Care Explor 2021; 3:e0407. [PMID: 33912837 PMCID: PMC8078339 DOI: 10.1097/cce.0000000000000407] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/31/2022] Open
Abstract
Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text. Objectives: This scoping review is aimed to summarize current knowledge on respiratory support adjustments and monitoring of metabolic and respiratory variables in mechanically ventilated adult patients performing early mobilization. Data Sources: Eight electronic databases were searched from inception to February 2021, using a predefined search strategy. Study Selection: Two blinded reviewers performed document selection by title, abstract, and full text according to the following criteria: mechanically ventilated adult patients performing any mobilization intervention, respiratory support adjustments, and/or monitoring of metabolic/respiratory real-time variables. Data Extraction: Four physiotherapists extracted relevant information using a prespecified template. Data Synthesis: From 1,208 references screened, 35 documents were selected for analysis, where 20 (57%) were published between 2016 and 2020. Respiratory support settings (ventilatory modes or respiratory variables) were reported in 21 documents (60%). Reported modes were assisted (n = 11) and assist-control (n = 9). Adjustment of variables and modes were identified in only seven documents (20%). The most frequent respiratory variable was the Fio2, and only four studies modified the level of ventilatory support. Mechanical ventilator brand/model used was not specified in 26 documents (74%). Monitoring of respiratory, metabolic, and both variables were reported in 22 documents (63%), four documents (11%) and 10 documents (29%), respectively. These variables were reported to assess the physiologic response (n = 21) or safety (n = 13). Monitored variables were mostly respiratory rate (n = 26), pulse oximetry (n = 22), and oxygen consumption (n = 9). Remarkably, no study assessed the work of breathing or effort during mobilization. Conclusions: Little information on respiratory support adjustments during mobilization of mechanically ventilated patients was identified. Monitoring of metabolic and respiratory variables is also scant. More studies on the effects of adjustments of the level/mode of ventilatory support on exercise performance and respiratory muscle activity monitoring for safe and efficient implementation of early mobilization in mechanically ventilated patients are needed.

BACKGROUND Ventilator weaning protocols are commonly implemented for patients receiving mechanical ventilation. However, the rate of extubation failure remains high despite the protocols. This study investigated the usefulness and accuracy of ventilator weaning through machine learning to predict successful extubation. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated the data of patients who underwent intubation for respiratory failure and received mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit (ICU). Data on 57 factors including patient demographics, vital signs, laboratory data, and data from ventilator were extracted. Extubation failure was defined as re-intubation within 72 hours of extubation. For supervised learning, the data were labeled requirement of intubation or not. We used three learning algorithms (Random Forest, XGBoost, and LightGBM) to predict successful extubation. We also analyzed important features and evaluated the area under curve (AUC) and prediction metrics. RESULTS Overall, 13 of the 117 included patients required re-intubation. LightGBM had the highest AUC (0.950), followed by XGBoost (0.946) and Random Forest (0.930). The accuracy, precision, and recall performance were 0.897, 0.910, and 0.909, for Random Forest; 0.910, 0.912, and 0.931 for XGBoost; and 0.927, 0.915, and 0.960 for LightGBM, respectively. The most important feature was the duration of mechanical ventilation followed by the fraction of inspired oxygen, positive end-expiratory pressure, maximum and mean airway pressures, and Glasgow Coma Scale. CONCLUSIONS Machine learning could predict successful extubation among patients on mechanical ventilation in the ICU. LightGBM has the highest overall performance. The duration of mechanical ventilation was the most important feature in all models.

Abstract
The logistical and infectious peculiarities and requirements challenge the intensive care treatment teams aiming at a successful liberation of patients from long-term mechanical ventilation. Especially in the pandemic, it is therefore important to use all potentials for weaning and decannulation, respectively, in patients with prolonged weaning.Weaning centers represent units of intensive medical care with a particular specialization in prolonged weaning. They are an integral part of a continuous care concept for these patients. A systematic weaning concept in the pandemic includes structural, personnel, equipment, infectiological and hygienic issues. In addition to the S2k guideline "Prolonged weaning" this position paper hightlights a new classification in prolonged weaning and organizational structures required in the future for the challenging pandemic situation. Category A patients with high weaning potential require a structured respiratory weaning in specialized weaning units, so as to get the greatest possible chance to realize successful weaning. Patients in category B with low or currently nonexistent weaning potential should receive a weaning attempt after an intermediate phase of further stabilization in an out-of-hospital ventilator unit. Category C patients with no weaning potential require a permanent out-of-hospital care, alternatively finishing mechanical ventilation with palliative support.Finally, under perspective in the position paper the following conceivable networks and registers in the future are presented: 1. locally organized regional networks of certified weaning centers, 2. a central, nationwide register of weaning capacities accordingly the already existing DIVI register and 3. registration of patients in difficult or prolonged weaning.

Abstract
The Japanese Clinical Practice Guidelines for Management of Sepsis and Septic Shock 2020 (J-SSCG 2020), a Japanese-specific set of clinical practice guidelines for sepsis and septic shock created as revised from J-SSCG 2016 jointly by the Japanese Society of Intensive Care Medicine and the Japanese Association for Acute Medicine, was first released in September 2020 and published in February 2021. An English-language version of these guidelines was created based on the contents of the original Japanese-language version. The purpose of this guideline is to assist medical staff in making appropriate decisions to improve the prognosis of patients undergoing treatment for sepsis and septic shock. We aimed to provide high-quality guidelines that are easy to use and understand for specialists, general clinicians, and multidisciplinary medical professionals. J-SSCG 2016 took up new subjects that were not present in SSCG 2016 (e.g., ICU-acquired weakness [ICU-AW], post-intensive care syndrome [PICS], and body temperature management). The J-SSCG 2020 covered a total of 22 areas with four additional new areas (patient- and family-centered care, sepsis treatment system, neuro-intensive treatment, and stress ulcers). A total of 118 important clinical issues (clinical questions, CQs) were extracted regardless of the presence or absence of evidence. These CQs also include those that have been given particular focus within Japan. This is a large-scale guideline covering multiple fields; thus, in addition to the 25 committee members, we had the participation and support of a total of 226 members who are professionals (physicians, nurses, physiotherapists, clinical engineers, and pharmacists) and medical workers with a history of sepsis or critical illness. The GRADE method was adopted for making recommendations, and the modified Delphi method was used to determine recommendations by voting from all committee members. As a result, 79 GRADE-based recommendations, 5 Good Practice Statements (GPS), 18 expert consensuses, 27 answers to background questions (BQs), and summaries of definitions and diagnosis of sepsis were created as responses to 118 CQs. We also incorporated visual information for each CQ according to the time course of treatment, and we will also distribute this as an app. The J-SSCG 2020 is expected to be widely used as a useful bedside guideline in the field of sepsis treatment both in Japan and overseas involving multiple disciplines.

Abstract
Background: Protocolized ventilator weaning (PW) strategies utilizing spontaneous breathing trials (SBTs) result in shorter intubation duration and intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay (LOS). We compared respiratory therapy (RT)-driven PW versus usual care (UC) as it pertains to physiologic respiratory parameters, intubation duration, extubation success/reintubation rates, and ICU LOS. Methods: prospective, multicentric, randomized controlled trial was performed in closed medical and surgical ICUs with 24/7 in-house intensivist coverage at six academic medical centers in a resource-limited setting from October 18, 2007, to May 03, 2014. Extubation readiness was determined by the attending physician (UC) or the respiratory therapist (PW) using predefined criteria and SBT. Physiologic variables, serial blood gas measurements, and weaning indices were assessed including the Rapid Shallow Breathing Index (RSBI), negative inspiratory force (NIF), occlusion pressure (P0.1), and dynamic and static compliance (Cdyn and Cs). Results: total of 5502 patients were randomized (PW 2787; UC 2715), of which 167 patients died without ventilator weaning (PW 90; UC 77) and 645 patients were excluded (PW 365; UC 280). Finally, a total of 4200 patients were analyzed (PW 2075; UC 2125). The PW group displayed improvements in minute ventilation (P < 0.001), Cs and Cdyn(both P < 0.05), P0.1 (P < 0.001), NIF (P < 0.001), and RSBI (P < 0.001). Early re-intubation (≤48 h) rates were lower in the PW group (16.7% vs. 24.8%; P < 0.0001), as were late re-intubation rates (5.2% vs. 25.8%; P < 0.0001). Intubation duration was longer in the PW group (P < 0.001), however, hospital LOS was shorter (P < 0.001). Mortality was unchanged (P = 0.19). Conclusion: PW with RT-driven extubation decisions is safe, effective, and associated with decreased re-intubation (early and late), shorter hospital stays, increased intubation duration (statistically but not clinically significant), and unchanged in-patient mortality.

Abstract
Mechanical ventilation (MV) is an essential part of modern intensive care medicine. MV is performed in patients with severe respiratory failure caused by respiratory muscle insufficiency and/or lung parenchymal disease; that is, when other treatments such as medication, oxygen administration, secretion management, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), or nasal high-flow therapy have failed. MV is required for maintaining gas exchange and allows more time to curatively treat the underlying cause of respiratory failure. In the majority of ventilated patients, liberation or "weaning" from MV is routine, without the occurrence of any major problems. However, approximately 20% of patients require ongoing MV, despite amelioration of the conditions that precipitated the need for it in the first place. Approximately 40-50% of the time spent on MV is required to liberate the patient from the ventilator, a process called "weaning". In addition to acute respiratory failure, numerous factors can influence the duration and success rate of the weaning process; these include age, comorbidities, and conditions and complications acquired during the ICU stay. According to international consensus, "prolonged weaning" is defined as the weaning process in patients who have failed at least 3 weaning attempts, or require more than 7 days of weaning after the first spontaneous breathing trial (SBT). Given that prolonged weaning is a complex process, an interdisciplinary approach is essential for it to be successful. In specialised weaning centres, approximately 50% of patients with initial weaning failure can be liberated from MV after prolonged weaning. However, the heterogeneity of patients undergoing prolonged weaning precludes the direct comparison of individual centres. Patients with persistent weaning failure either die during the weaning process, or are discharged back to their home or to a long-term care facility with ongoing MV. Urged by the growing importance of prolonged weaning, this Sk2 Guideline was first published in 2014 as an initiative of the German Respiratory Society (DGP), in conjunction with other scientific societies involved in prolonged weaning. The emergence of new research, clinical study findings and registry data, as well as the accumulation of experience in daily practice, have made the revision of this guideline necessary. The following topics are dealt with in the present guideline: Definitions, epidemiology, weaning categories, underlying pathophysiology, prevention of prolonged weaning, treatment strategies in prolonged weaning, the weaning unit, discharge from hospital on MV, and recommendations for end-of-life decisions. Special emphasis was placed on the following themes: (1) A new classification of patient sub-groups in prolonged weaning. (2) Important aspects of pulmonary rehabilitation and neurorehabilitation in prolonged weaning. (3) Infrastructure and process organisation in the care of patients in prolonged weaning based on a continuous treatment concept. (4) Changes in therapeutic goals and communication with relatives. Aspects of paediatric weaning are addressed separately within individual chapters. The main aim of the revised guideline was to summarize both current evidence and expert-based knowledge on the topic of "prolonged weaning", and to use this information as a foundation for formulating recommendations related to "prolonged weaning", not only in acute medicine but also in the field of chronic intensive care medicine. The following professionals served as important addressees for this guideline: intensivists, pulmonary medicine specialists, anaesthesiologists, internists, cardiologists, surgeons, neurologists, paediatricians, geriatricians, palliative care clinicians, rehabilitation physicians, intensive/chronic care nurses, physiotherapists, respiratory therapists, speech therapists, medical service of health insurance, and associated ventilator manufacturers.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this scoping review was to explore existing literature on protocols initiated by nurses for a spontaneous breathing trial in adult intensive care unit (ICU) patients in order to examine and conceptually map the evidence, and identify gaps in the literature. INTRODUCTION Nurses are vital in the care of the critically ill mechanically ventilated patient. By involving the nurse in the weaning process through implementing the final stage of the weaning process, the spontaneous breathing trial, patients may liberate from mechanical ventilation more readily, thereby reducing the cost of care and number of complications associated with prolonged ventilation. INCLUSION CRITERIA This review considered experimental and quasi-experimental study designs, analytical observational studies, case-control studies, analytical cross-sectional studies, descriptive observational studies, qualitative studies, and text and opinion papers. Adult ICU patients, aged 18 and over who were mechanically ventilated and candidates for weaning to spontaneous breathing trials, were included in the review. Adult ICUs included but were not limited to burn ICUs, cardiovascular ICUs, medical ICUs, neurological ICUs, surgical ICUs and trauma ICUs in all geographic locations. This scoping review considered studies that examined the use of nurse-initiated protocols for a spontaneous breathing trial. METHODS The Joanna Briggs Institute scoping review methodology was used. Key information sources searched were Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, PubMed, PROSPERO, DARE, CINAHL, Embase, Scopus, Academic Search Premier, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, ClinicalTrials.gov, MedNar, ProQuest Dissertations and Theses, Papers First and societal websites with information relevant to the scoping review. Only studies published in English were included, and no date limits were applied. The data extraction tool was developed by the authors to examine information retrieved from the studies. RESULTS Four studies, with 430 participants, were included in this review. One study was a non-randomized controlled trial, two were randomized controlled studies, and one was a text and opinion paper. The four studies included in the review identified both eligibility criteria for spontaneous breathing trial initiation, detailed elements of a spontaneous breathing trial, and criteria for success. Three of the four studies reported outcomes with the use of protocols for spontaneous breathing trials initiated by nurses. CONCLUSIONS All included studies support the utilization of protocols and allowing the nurse to initiate the protocol, however variations in the eligibility criteria, details of the spontaneous breathing trial and success criteria create ambiguity in practice.

Abstract
PURPOSE The predictive value of airway occlusion pressure at 100 milliseconds (P0.1) on weaning outcome has been controversial. We performed a meta-analysis to investigate the predictive value of P0.1 on successful weaning from mechanical ventilation. MATERIALS AND METHODS We searched MEDLINE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and EMBASE, and two authors independently screened articles. The pooled sensitivity, specificity and the summary receiver operating characteristic (sROC) curve were estimated. Diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) was calculated using meta-regression analysis. RESULTS We included 12 prospective observational studies (n = 1089 patients). Analyses of sROC curves showed the area under the curve of 0.81 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.77 to 0.84) for P0.1. The pooled sensitivity and specificity were 86% (95% CI, 72 to 94%) and 58% (95% CI, 37% to 76%) with substantial heterogeneity respectively. DOR was 20.09 (p = 0.019, 95%CI: 1.63-247.15). After filling the missing data using the trim-and-fill method to adjust publication bias, DOR was 36.23 (p = 0.002, 95%CI: 3.56-372.41). CONCLUSION This meta-analysis suggests that P0.1 is a useful tool to predict successful weaning. To determine clinical utility, a large prospective study investigating the sensitivity and specificity of P0.1 on weaning outcomes from mechanical ventilation is warranted.

[PMID: 32750371 DOI: 10.1016/j.apmr.2020.07.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2020] [Revised: 06/26/2020] [Accepted: 07/02/2020] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the effectiveness and rank order of physical therapy interventions, including conventional physical therapy (CPT), inspiratory muscle training (IMT), and early mobilization (EM) on mechanical ventilation (MV) duration and weaning duration. DATA SOURCES PubMed, The Cochrane Library, Scopus, and CINAHL complete electronic databases were searched through August 2019. STUDY SELECTION Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating the effect of IMT, EM, or CPT on MV duration and the weaning duration in patients with MV were included. Studies that were determined to meet the eligibility criteria by 2 independent authors were included. A total of 6498 relevant studies were identified in the search, and 18 RCTs (934 participants) were included in the final analysis. DATA EXTRACTION Data were extracted independently by 2 authors and assessed the study quality by the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool. The primary outcomes were MV duration and weaning duration. DATA SYNTHESIS Various interventions of physical therapy were identified in the eligible studies, including IMT, IMT+CPT, EM, EM+CPT, and CPT. The data analysis demonstrated that compared with CPT, IMT+CPT significantly reduced the weaning duration (mean difference; 95% confidence interval) (-2.60; -4.76 to -0.45) and EM significantly reduced the MV duration (-2.01; -3.81 to -0.22). IMT+CPT and EM had the highest effectiveness in reducing the weaning duration and MV duration, respectively. CONCLUSION IMT or EM should be recommended for improving the weaning outcomes in mechanically ventilated patients. However, an interpretation with caution is required due to the heterogeneity.

Protocol for two-arm pragmatic cluster randomized hybrid implementation-effectiveness trial comparing two education strategies for improving the uptake of noninvasive ventilation in patients with severe COPD exacerbation. Implement Sci Commun 2020; 1:46. [PMID: 32435762 PMCID: PMC7223919 DOI: 10.1186/s43058-020-00028-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2020] [Accepted: 03/23/2020] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Background COPD is the fourth leading cause of death in the US, and COPD exacerbations result in approximately 700,000 hospitalizations annually. Patients with acute respiratory failure due to severe COPD exacerbation are treated with invasive (IMV) or noninvasive mechanical ventilation (NIV). Although IMV reverses hypercapnia/hypoxia, it causes significant morbidity and mortality. There is strong evidence that patients treated with NIV have better outcomes, and NIV is recommended as first line therapy in these patients. Yet, several studies have demonstrated substantial variation in the use of NIV across hospitals, leading to preventable morbidity and mortality. Through a series of mixed-methods studies, we have found that successful implementation of NIV requires physicians, respiratory therapists (RTs), and nurses to communicate and collaborate effectively, suggesting that efforts to increase the use of NIV in COPD need to account for the complex and interdisciplinary nature of NIV delivery and the need for team coordination. Therefore, we propose to compare two educational strategies: online education (OLE) and interprofessional education (IPE) which targets complex team-based care in NIV delivery. Methods and design Twenty hospitals with low baseline rates of NIV use will be randomized to either the OLE or IPE study arm. The primary outcome of the trial is change in the hospital rate of NIV use among patients with COPD requiring ventilatory support. In aim 1, we will compare the uptake change over time of NIV use among patients with COPD in hospitals enrolled in the two arms. In aim 2, we will explore mediators’ role (respiratory therapist autonomy and team functionality) on the relationship between the implementation strategies and implementation effectiveness. Finally, in aim 3, through interviews with providers, we will assess acceptability and feasibility of the educational training. Discussions This study will be among the first to carefully test the impact of IPE in the inpatient setting. This work promises to change practice by offering approaches to facilitate greater uptake of NIV and may generalize to other interventions directed to seriously-ill patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES It is unknown whether more frequent screening of invasively ventilated patients, identifies patients earlier for a spontaneous breathing trial, and shortens the duration of ventilation. We assessed the feasibility of conducting a large trial to evaluate screening frequency in critically ill adults in the North American context. DESIGN We conducted two contemporaneous, multicenter, pilot, randomized controlled trials (the LibeRation from MEchanicaL VEntilAtion and ScrEening Frequency [RELEASE] and Screening Elderly PatieNts For InclusiOn in a Weaning [SENIOR] trials) to address concerns regarding the potential for higher enrollment, fewer adverse events, and better outcomes in younger patients. SETTING Ten and 11 ICUs in Canada, respectively. PATIENTS Parallel trials of younger (RELEASE < 65 yr) and older (SENIOR ≥ 65 yr) critically ill adults invasively ventilated for at least 24 hours. INTERVENTIONS Each trial compared once daily screening to "at least twice daily" screening led by respiratory therapists. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS In both trials, we evaluated recruitment (aim: 1-2 patients/month/ICU) and consent rates, reasons for trial exclusion, protocol adherence (target: ≥ 80%), crossovers (aim: ≤ 10%), and the effect of the alternative screening frequencies on adverse events and clinical outcomes. We included 155 patients (53 patients [23 once daily, 30 at least twice daily] in RELEASE and 102 patients [54 once daily, 48 at least twice daily] in SENIOR). Between trials, we found similar recruitment rates (1.32 and 1.26 patients/month/ICU) and reasons for trial exclusion, high consent and protocol adherence rates (> 92%), infrequent crossovers, and few adverse events. Although underpowered, at least twice daily screening was associated with a nonsignificantly faster time to successful extubation and more successful extubations but significantly increased use of noninvasive ventilation in both trials combined. CONCLUSIONS Similar recruitment and consent rates, few adverse events, and comparable outcomes in younger and older patients support conduct of a single large trial in North American ICUs assessing the net clinical benefits associated with more frequent screening.

Abstract
Septicaemia likely results in high case-fatality rates in the present multidrug-resistant (MDR) era. Amongst them are hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) and ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), two frequent fatal septicaemic entities amongst hospitalised patients. We reviewed the PubMed database to identify the common organisms implicated in HAP/VAP, to explore the respective risk factors, and to find the appropriate antibiotic choice. Apart from methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae spp., MDR or extensively drug-resistant (XDR)-Acinetobacter baumannii complex spp., followed by Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, Chryseobacterium indologenes, and Elizabethkingia meningoseptica are ranked as the top Gram-negative bacteria (GNB) implicated in HAP/VAP. Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae notably emerged as an important concern in HAP/VAP. The above-mentioned pathogens have respective risk factors involved in their acquisition. In the present XDR era, tigecycline, colistin, and ceftazidime-avibactam are antibiotics effective against the Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase and oxacillinase producers amongst the Enterobacteriaceae isolates implicated in HAP/VAP. Antibiotic combination regimens are recommended in the treatment of MDR/XDR-P. aeruginosa or A. baumannii complex isolates. Some special patient populations need prolonged courses (>7-day) and/or a combination regimen of antibiotic therapy. Implementation of an antibiotic stewardship policy and the measures recommended by the United States (US) Institute for Healthcare were shown to decrease the incidence rates of HAP/VAP substantially.

Abstract
Neurocritical care is a distinct subspecialty focusing on the optimal management of acutely ill patients with life-threatening neurologic and neurosurgical disease or with life-threatening neurologic manifestations of systemic disease. Care by expert healthcare providers to optimize neurologic recovery is necessary. Given the lack of an organizational framework and criteria for the development and maintenance of neurological critical care units (NCCUs), this document is put forth by the Neurocritical Care Society (NCS). Recommended organizational structure, personnel and processes necessary to develop a successful neurocritical care program are outlined. Methods: Under the direction of NCS Executive Leadership, a multidisciplinary writing group of NCS members was formed. After an iterative process, a framework was proposed and approved by members of the writing group. A draft was then written, which was reviewed by the NCS Quality Committee and NCS Guidelines Committee, members at large, and posted for public comment. Feedback was formally collated, reviewed and incorporated into the final document which was subsequently approved by the NCS Board of Directors.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Research supports the use of specific strategies to discontinue mechanical ventilation (MV) in critically ill patients. Little is known about how clinicians actually wean and discontinue MV in practice or the association between different discontinuation strategies and outcomes. The primary objective of this study is to describe international practices in the use of (1) daily screening for readiness to discontinue MV, (2) modes of MV used before initial discontinuation attempts, (3) weaning and spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) protocols, (4) SBT techniques and (5) sedation and mobilisation practices to facilitate weaning and discontinuation. The secondary objectives are to identify patient characteristics and time-dependent factors associated with use of selected strategies, investigate associations between SBT outcome (failure vs success) and outcomes, explore differences between patients who undergo an SBT early versus later in their intensive care unit (ICU) stay, and investigate the associations between different SBT techniques and humidification strategies on outcomes. METHODS AND ANALYSIS We will conduct an international, prospective, observational study of MV discontinuation practices among critically ill adults who receive invasive MV for at least 24 hours at approximately 150 ICUs in six geographic regions (Canada, USA, UK, Europe, India and Australia/New Zealand). Research personnel at participating ICUs will collect demographic data, data to characterise the initial strategy or event that facilitated discontinuation of MV (direct extubation, direct tracheostomy, initial successful SBT, initial failed SBT or death before any attempt could be made), clinical outcomes and site information. We aim to collect data on at least 10 non-death discontinuation events in each ICU (at least 1500 non-death discontinuation events). ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION This study received Research Ethics Approval from St. Michael's Hospital (11-024) Research ethics approval will be sought from all participating sites. The results will be disseminated through publications in peer-reviewed journals. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT03955874.

Abstract
Background The spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) is a well-established diagnostic test for predicting extubation failure in intubated intensive care unit (ICU) patients. However, the SBT has not been evaluated in a specific cohort of tracheostomized patients in whom weaning is prolonged and ultimately unsuccessful. Objective The aim of the trial was to investigate the relevance of SBT failure criteria in chronic respiratory failure subjects undergoing long-term invasive home mechanical ventilation following tracheostomy and weaning failure. Methods Measurement of all established failure criteria including pneumotachygraphical assessment of the rapid shallow breathing index (RSBI) took place during an SBT. The decision to continue spontaneous breathing was based on failure criteria as well as the subjective willingness of the patient. Results Fifteen subjects with a median age of 58 years (interquartile range [IQR] 44–74) were studied; 10 with COPD, 4 with neuromuscular diseases and 1 with both. Twelve subjects met the SBT failure criteria within 30 min, but one third of these subjects were still able to continue with spontaneous breathing. In contrast, 3 subjects could not be weaned despite the SBT being successful. An increased RSBI was the most frequently observed SBT failure criterion (57% of all SBT). However, the SBT varied substantially in individual subjects who were able to sustain spontaneous breathing, despite having reached the cut-off for SBT failure. Conclusion The SBT was of low predictive value regarding spontaneous breathing ability in chronic respiratory failure subjects with prolonged, unsuccessful weaning.

Abstract
Background The outcomes of weaning processes are not well known in pediatric patients, and the International Conference Classification on weaning from mechanical ventilation showed limited application. We evaluate the relationship between the new Weaning according to a New Definition (WIND) classification and outcome in pediatric patients.
Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort study in a tertiary pediatric intensive care unit (ICU). We included patients under 18 years of age who received invasive mechanical ventilation for more than 24 h and excluded cases with other than the first ICU admissions, tracheostomy with home ventilation before admission, intubation or weaning processes conducted in other ICU, and weaning with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Weaning processes were classified into four groups according to weaning duration after the first separation attempt (SA): no-SA, short weaning (< 24 h), difficult weaning (24 h–7 days), and prolonged weaning (> 7 days). Mortality rates were compared across groups using the Kruskal–Wallis test, and risk factors for the no-SA group were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression tests with age, sex, severity score at admission, admission type, and underlying disease as variables. Results Among 313 patients, 224 were enrolled and had a median age of 2.1 (interquartile range 0.5–6.6) years. Spontaneous breathing tests were done in 70.1% of enrolled patients. The median duration of intubation to the first SA was 4 (range 0–36) days, and 92.8% patients underwent the first SA within 14 days. The mortality rate was 0% in the short (0/99) and difficult (0/53) weaning groups and 17.9% (5/28) in the prolonged weaning group (p < 0.001). The mortality rate of the no-SA group was 93.2% (41/44). Admission severity (hazard ratio 1.036, confidence interval 1.022–1.050) and underlying oncologic disease (hazard ratio 7.341, confidence interval 3.008–17.916) were independent risk factors for lack of SA. Conclusions In conclusion, WIND classification is associated with ICU mortality in pediatric patients. Further studies of this association are required to improve protocols associated with the weaning process and clinical outcomes. Trial registration Retrospectively registered.

Abstract
Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) remains a significant clinical entity with reported incidence rates of 7% to 15%. Given the considerable adverse consequences associated with this infection, VAP prevention became a core measure required in most US hospitals. Many institutions implemented effective VAP prevention bundles that combined head of bed elevation, hand hygiene, chlorhexidine oral care, and subglottic drainage. More recently, spontaneous breathing and awakening trials have consistently been shown to shorten the duration of mechanical ventilation and secondarily reduce the occurrence of VAP. More recent data question the overall positive impact of prevention bundles, including some of their core component interventions.

Abstract
The ventilator-associated event (VAE) is a potentially avoidable complication of mechanical ventilation (MV) associated with poor outcomes. Although rare, VAEs and other nosocomial events are frequently targeted for quality improvement efforts consistent with the creed to ‘do no harm’. In October 2016, VA Greater Los Angeles (GLA) was in the lowest-performing decile of VA medical centres on a composite measure of quality, owing to GLA’s relatively high VAE rate. To decrease VAEs, we sought to reduce average MV duration of patients with acute respiratory failure to less than 3 days by 1 July 2017. In our first intervention (period 1), intensive care unit (ICU) attending physicians trained residents to use an existing ventilator bundle order set; in our second intervention (period 2), we updated the order set to streamline order entry and incorporate new nurse-driven and respiratory therapist (RT)-driven spontaneous awakening trial (SAT) and spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) protocols. In period 1, the proportion of eligible patients with SAT and SBT orders increased from 29.9% and 51.2% to 67.4% and 72.6%, respectively, with sustained improvements through December 2017. Mean MV duration decreased from 7.2 days at baseline to 5.5 days in period 1 and 4.7 days in period 2; statistical process control charts revealed no significant differences, but the difference between baseline and period 2 MV duration was statistically significant at p=0.049. Bedside audits showed RTs consistently performed indicated SBTs, but there were missed opportunities for SATs due to ICU staff concerns about the SAT protocol. The rarity of VAEs, small population of ventilated patients and infrequent use of sedative infusions at GLA may have decreased the opportunity to achieve staff acceptance and use of the SAT protocol. Quality improvement teams should consider frequency of targeted outcomes when planning interventions; rare events pose challenges in implementation and evaluation of change.

[PMID: 31240173 PMCID: PMC6582226 DOI: 10.5492/wjccm.v8.i3.28] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2019] [Revised: 03/31/2019] [Accepted: 05/22/2019] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Protocols for nurse-led extubation are as safe as a physician-guided weaning in general intensive care unit (ICU). Early extubation is a cornerstone of fast-track cardiac surgery, and it has been mainly implemented in post-anaesthesia care units. Introducing a nurse-led extubation protocol may lead to reduced extubation time.
AIM To investigate results of the implementation of a nurse-led protocol for early extubation after elective cardiac surgery, aiming at higher extubation rates by the third postoperative hour.
METHODS A single centre prospective study in an 18-bed, consultant-led Cardiothoracic ICU, with a 1:1 nurse-to-patient ratio. During a 3-wk period, the protocol was implemented with: (1) Structured teaching sessions at nurse handover and at bed-space (all staff received teaching, over 90% were exposed at least twice; (2) Email; and (3) Laminated sheets at bed-space. We compared “standard practice” and “intervention” periods before and after the protocol implementation, measuring extubation rates at several time-points from the third until the 24th postoperative hour.
RESULTS Of 122 cardiac surgery patients admitted to ICU, 13 were excluded as early weaning was considered unsafe. Therefore, 109 patients were included, 54 in the standard and 55 in the intervention period. Types of surgical interventions and baseline left ventricular function were similar between groups. From the third to the 12th post-operative hour, the intervention group displayed a higher proportion of patients extubated compared to the standard group. However, results were significant only at the sixth hour (58% vs 37%, P = 0.04), and not different at the third hour (13% vs 6%, P = 0.33). From the 12th post-operative hour time-point onward, extubation rates became almost identical between groups (83% in standard vs 83% in intervention period).
CONCLUSION The implementation of a nurse-led protocol for early extubation after cardiac surgery in ICU may gradually lead to higher rates of early extubation.
