Purpose: Prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) and reintubation are among the most serious postoperative adverse events associated with malignant cervical tumors. In this study, we aimed to clarify the incidence, characteristics, and risk factors for PMV and reintubation in target patients. Methods: ...
Prolonged Intubation If endotracheal intubation is scheduled, it is usually removed soon after the procedure is completed. Other people may need intubation and mechanical ventilation longer due to a severe or critical illness. Even so, the tube cannot be left indefinitely and should be removed within...
Novel barriers to safe HNC surgery include: (1) imperfect presurgical screening for COVID-19; (2) prolonged SARS-CoV-2 aerosolization; (3) occurrence of multiple, potentially lengthy, aerosol generating procedures (AGPs) within a single surgery; (4) potential incompatibility of enhanced personal...

will be at a further risk from prolonged hypoxia as the cancer grows best in a microenvironment that is low in oxygen. Low oxygen also promotes inflammation which can promote the growth, invasion and spread of cancers.8,9Repeated episodes of hypoxia has been proposed as a significant factor in...
Prolonged intubation and mechanical ventilation after cardiac surgery have been associated with increased hospital and intensive care unit length of stay. Enhanced Recovery After Cardiac Surgery procedures aim at early extubation that offers numerous physiological and psychological benefits. Obviously, like ...
Rationale commonly cited for the more minimalistic approach include the presumed low likelihood of postoperative complications, potential risk of patch infection, and prolonged intubation. We evaluate these theories, as well as the implications of intraoperative chest tube (IOCT) placement.Schlager, ...
Generally the underweight patients has the higher trend of adverse outcomes (e.g., prolonged mechanical ventilation, blood product requirement, reopening & re-intubation), but not significant. However, they have significantly longer mechanical ventilation time compared to...
Such studies should also seek to improve our ability to accurately identify which patients will require prolonged mechanical ventilation, and to quantify the potential benefits of tracheostomy compared with prolonged translaryngeal intubation.doi:10.1186/cc13761Damon C Scales...
and weaning off ventilator support in an ICU, by predicting the optimal time to extubation in a way that minimised complications arising from either (a) prolonged dependence on mechanical ventilation on one extreme or (b) premature extubation that requires reintubation on the other extreme [61]....
