Practice of Ventilation in Critically Ill Patients Without Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome - An International Observational Study
In Brief
An observational study for Mechanical Ventilation. Completed, enrolled 1,030 participants across 13 sites in 9 countries.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this international, multicenter study is to determine ventilation practice and outcomes of intubated and ventilated intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Ventilation characteristics and outcomes will be compared between patients without the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), patients at risk for ARDS, and patients with mild, moderate or severe ARDS. Participating centres worldwide will include adult patients undergoing mechanical ventilation in the ICU during a 7-day period. Patients data will be collected during the first 7 days in the ICU, or until ICU discharge. Follow up is until day 90. Primary endpoint is the tidal volume size used during mechanical ventilation. Secondary endpoints are development of ARDS in patients without ARDS at the onset of mechanical ventilation, worsening of ARDS in patients with ARDS at the onset of mechanical ventilation, pulmonary infection, other pulmonary complications, need for tracheostomy, extra-pulmonary complications, duration of ventilation, length of ICU and hospital stay, and ICU, hospital and 90-day mortality.
