Assessment of Ventilation Parameters for Extubation Prediction in ICU

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are studying how different ventilation parameters like mechanical power, driving pressure, and elastic power can help predict how long critically ill patients on invasive mechanical ventilation will need support. This observational study includes patients recently intubated for acute respiratory failure and aims to improve decisions about when to safely remove breathing tubes or prepare for alternatives like tracheostomy. The study monitors these ventilation values at the start of mechanical ventilation, and again at 24 and 48 hours, to see how well they predict extubation within the first week. By including all patients on invasive ventilation, the research looks beyond specific conditions like ARDS to better understand risks across a broad ICU population. Participants will be observed during their ICU stay with regular assessments of their ventilator settings and clinical condition. Researchers will track outcomes such as the timing of extubation within seven days, mortality at 28 days, development of acute kidney failure within a month, and length of ICU or hospital stay over three months. This approach aims to guide early treatment planning and improve patient management in critical care.
