Background
  • 20 patients requiring prolonged MV cant wean
  • 10 U.S. LTACH admits require prolonged MV
  • Usually transferred to an LTACH from either a
    med/surg ICU following an average acute LOS of 30
    days
  • Failure to wean from prolonged mechanical
    ventilation (MV) is common
  • Only 50 of patients admitted to an LTACH for
    weaning from prolonged MV eventually wean
  • Only 35 are successfully decannulated
  • Terminal wean process is not well described

4
Methods
  • We compared terminal withdrawal of MV at an LTACH
    with MICU
  • Retrospective chart review of all patients
    undergoing terminal withdrawal of MV in an LTACH
    (n30) and MICU (n74) over a 2-year period

Limitations
  • Chart review
  • LTACH patients identified prospectively, MICU
    patients identified retrospectively
  • May have underestimated number of MICU patients
    undergoing terminal withdrawal of MV
  • Chart abstractors could not be blinded to the
    hospital but were blinded to study hypothesis

11
Conclusions
  • Terminal withdrawal of MV in the LTACH differs
    from that in the MICU
  • Time elapsed weeks vs days
  • Patient involvement
  • Decision making
  • Benzodiazepine use
  • Cause of death

12
Future Directions
  • Improved communication about prolonged MV
  • Patient, family, clinical staff shared decision
    making
  • Resources
  • Social work, psychiatry, pastoral care
  • Medications
  • Guidelines
