4 Outcomes of Prolonged Ventilation Cohort Definition Ventilation for 14 days Ventilation for 21 days Tracheostomy for Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation Weaning Center Study Combes Carson Cox Engoren Rose N Hospital Length of Stay median (IQR) (36-72) 39 (30-52) 29 (22-38) (35-109) Died in Hospital 43% 41% 31% 20% 22% 15% Discharged Home -- 11% 4% 7% -- 13% Alive at 12 months 32% 48% 42% 52% 50% 37%

6 Brain Dysfunction in PMV Prospective cohort 203 patients from Respiratory Care Unit Nelson et al. Arch Intern Med 2006;166: % cognitively intact at baseline 30% comatose throughout RCU stay 50% non-coma patients delirious 6 month follow-up 71% of survivors too cognitively impaired for tel. testing Remaining 25% cognitively intact (30 patients)

7 Management Prevent Complications Maximize Function Communicate Prognosis/Goals of Care

8 Preventing Infections Prevent Ventilator Associated Pneumonias HOB elevation Remove NG tubes Avoid gastric distension Chlorhexadine mouth rinses? Avoid sedatives, narcotics when possible Prevent Central Line Related Bloodstream Infections D/C unnecessary lines!!! Checklist Full drapes Line Cart

9 Infection Control in PMV High threshold for broad spectrum antibiotics Treat sepsis aggressively Confirm infection before treating isolated fever VAP BAL/mini-BAL/Quantitative trach aspirate Tracheobronchitis be appropriately conservative Bladder infections SIRS and Pyuria Positive culture with no other apparent source Know local Antibiograms

10 Maximize Function

11 Nutrition Avoid Overfeeding Volume expansion, hyperglycemia, steatocholestasis, increased ventilatory load McClave et al. J Parent Enteral Nutr. 1998;22: PMV patients from 32 hospitals Indirect calorimetry measurements 58.2% of patients receiving >110% of required calories 12.2% were being underfed kcal/kg/day Enteral and parenteral feeding? Hollander, Mechanick. Nutr Clin Pract. Dec 2006;21(6):587

12 Pressure Ulcers Prevention Turning, Specialty Beds, Cleaning Early Mobilization Management Debridement Wet-to-dry dressings Wound Vac? Judicious use of antibiotics Specialist Care

13 Mobility Barriers or Excuses? Limitations in cardiovascular and respiratory reserve Bleeding risks Cognitive function Orthopedic issues, wounds Attachments, Devices Obesity Solution: Mobility Team Morris et al. Crit Care Med 2006; 34:A20 Adaptation of traditional roles Physiotherapist model Hopkins Crit Care Clinics 2007;23:81

14 Delirium Risk Age Baseline dementia Underlying illness Inflammation Coagulation Metabolic Disturbances Hypoxemia, hypercarbia Psychoactive Medications Sleep Deprivation Inouye, JAMA 1996;275: Dubois, Intens Care Med 2001;27: Inouye, NEJM 1999;340: Jacobi, Crit Care Med 2002;30: Milbrandt, Crit Care Med. 2005;33:226-9

15 Psychological Support Prevent delirium Early mobility Communication Speaking valve Oral feeding Careful treatment of pain and anxiety Depression Extremely common Jubran Intensive Care Med. May 2010;36(5):828 Antidepressants work slowly Methylphenidate Woods et al. J Clin Psychol 1986; 47:12

16 Dedicated Units for PMV Patients Multidisciplinary Rehabilitation Approach Specialization within disciplines RT, Nutrition, PT Protocolized care Lower nursing intensity; less monitoring Lower costs?? Short-term acute care hospital models Long-term care hospital (LTCH) models

17 LTAC vs Acute Costs for PMV LTCH patients and non-ltch patients matched based upon propensity for LTCH referral 68 days in episode with LTCH care vs 45.8 days without LTCH care Differences in episode payments and costs relative to non-ltch patient with low likelihood of LTCH referral (lower left point on graphs)

21 Summary Managing the complications of PMV should be considered within the context of improving functional outcomes as well as survival Infections are the most common cause of death in PMV and are often preventable Prolonged physical limitations should be prevented with early mobility, wound prevention, and nutrition Care venues should be selected based upon patient needs, but are often determined by resources Tools are available to improve understanding and communication of prognosis/goals of care
