Clinical Predictors of Weaning Failure and Mortality in Individuals With COVID‐19 Undergoing Invasive Mechanical Ventilation: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Key Points

The study aims to identify clinical predictors associated with weaning failure and mortality in COVID-19 patients requiring invasive mechanical ventilation.
Retrospective cohort study design
Analysis of clinical data from individuals undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation
Assessment of hospitalization length, age, and respiratory mechanics
Advanced age, prolonged duration of invasive mechanical ventilation, and impaired respiratory mechanics were significant predictors of weaning failure.
Individuals experiencing weaning failure had a higher mortality rate compared to those who successfully weaned.

Abstract

Advanced age, the length of hospitalization, prolonged IMV duration, and compromised respiratory mechanics were the predictors of WF. Furthermore, individuals who experienced WF presented a higher mortality rate compared with those who successfully weaned.
