Abstract Background: This study retrospectively analyzed the relationship between early fluid overload(FO) and in-hospital mortality in Children with mechanical ventilation in pediatric intensive care unit.Methods: Patients who were on mechanical ventilation (MV) for≥48 h and aged over 28 days and less than 18 years from March 2014 to March 2019 in department of PICU, Xinhua hospital. Daily FO was calculated as {(daily fluid intake-daily fluid output)/weight at ICU admission * 100%}.We defined the early FO as the FO in the first three days of mechanical ventilation, and divided it into four bands: %FO ≤ 0%, 0%<%FO≤ 10%, 10%<%FO≤ 20%, and %FO > 20%. We compared the mortality in discharge between groups with different FO. We also compared the early FO between survivors and non-survivors. Multivariate stepwise logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the prognostic factors of mortality in hospital.Results: 309 patients were included. There were 202 cases in non-operative and 107 cases in operative. The mean early FO was 8.83 ± 8.81%, and the mortality in hospital was 26.2% (81/309). The percentage of % FO>10% was in present 41.4%(131/309) and %FO>20% was in present 8.7% (27/309). There was no significant difference in discharge-mortality between different FO groups(p=0.053) and in FO between survivors and non-survivors(p=0.992). Regression analysis demonstrated that the more vasoactive drugs, the presence of MODS, the longer duration of MV, and the non-operation reason for PICU admission were related to the increase of mortality(p<0.05); although early FO and %FO>10% were not associated with in-hospital mortality(β=0.030, p=0.090, 95% C.I.=0.995~1.067; β=0.479, p=0.153, 95% C.I.= 0.837~3.117), %FO>20% was related to the increase of mortality (β=1.057, OR=2.878, p=0.029, 95% C.I.=1.116~7.418). There was positive correlation between early FO and LOS in PICU (r=0.148, p=0.009), but the relation is weak.Conclusions: Affected by interventions and the severity of the disease, the correlation between the early FO and %FO>10% with mortality was not clear, but %FO>20% was related to the increase of mortality in critically-ill mechanically ventilated Children.

Introduction: There are no established guidelines for selecting patients for early tracheostomy. The aim was to determine the factors that could predict the possibility of intubation longer than 7 days in critically ill adult patients. Methods: This is cohort study made at a general intensive care unit. Patients who required at least 48 hours of mechanical ventilation were included. Data on the clinical and physiologic features were collected for every intubated patient on the third day. Uni- and multivariate statistical analyses were conducted to determine the variables associated with extubation. Results: 163 (62%) were male, and the median age was 59±17 years. Almost one-third (36%) of patients required mechanical ventilation longer than 7 days. The variables strongly associated with prolonged mechanical ventilation were: age (HR 0.97 (95% CI 0.96-0.99); diagnosis of surgical emergency in a patient with a medical condition (HR 3.68 (95% CI 1.62-8.35), diagnosis of surgical condition-non emergency (HR 8.17 (95% CI 2.12-31.3); diagnosis of non-surgical-medical condition (HR 5.26 (95% CI 1.85-14.9); APACHE II (HR 0.91 (95% CI 0.85-0.97) and SAPS II score (HR 1.04 (95% CI 1.00-1.09) The area under ROC curve used for prediction was 0.52. 16% of patients were extubated after day 8 of intubation. Conclusions: It was not possible to predict early extubation in critically ill adult patients with invasive mechanical ventilation with common clinical scales used at the ICU. However, the probability of successfully weaning patients from mechanical ventilation without a tracheostomy is low after the eighth day of intubation.

Tracheostomy is a procedure where a conduit is created between the skin and the trachea. Tracheostomy is one of the most frequent procedures undertaken in critically ill patients. Each year, approximately 10% of critical care patients in the United States require a tracheostomy, most often for prolonged mechanical ventilation.

Objectives: Interactions between mechanical ventilation (MV) and carbapenem interventions were investigated for the risk of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) in critically ill patients undergoing concurrent carbapenem therapy. Methods: Taiwan’s National Intensive Care Unit Database (NICUD) was used in this analytical, observational, and retrospective study. We analyzed 267,871 intubated patients in subgroups based on the duration of MV support: 7–14 days (n = 97,525), 15–21 days (n = 52,068), 22–28 days (n = 35,264), and 29–60 days (n = 70,021). The primary outcome was CDI. Results: Age (>75 years old), prolonged MV assistance (>21 days), carbapenem therapy (>15 days), and high comorbidity scores were identified as independent risk factors for developing CDI. CDI risk increased with longer MV support. The highest rate of CDI was in the MV 29–60 days subgroup (adjusted hazard ratio (AHR) = 2.85; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.46–5.58; p < 0.02). Moreover, higher CDI rates correlated with the interaction between MV and carbapenem interventions; these CDI risks were increased in the MV 15–21 days (AHR = 2.58; 95% CI = 1.12–5.91) and MV 29–60 days (AHR = 4.63; 95% CI = 1.14–10.03) subgroups than in the non-MV and non-carbapenem subgroups. Conclusions: Both MV support and carbapenem interventions significantly increase the risk that critically ill patients will develop CDI. Moreover, prolonged MV support and carbapenem therapy synergistically induce CDI. These findings provide new insights into the role of MV support in the development of CDI.
