Count of patients on mechanical ventilation per bed per time frame
Significance
Experience with mechanical ventilation is associated with improved patient outcomes. Factors affecting ventilated patient flow include ICU patient type and acuity, Structural and process-related aspects of care, and factors affecting patient flow following ICU care.

Definition and Derivation
Numerator
Num = Total number of discharges who were mechanically ventilated at any time during the ICU stay
Denominator
Denom = Number of ICU beds
Formula
Ventilated Patient Flow = Num / Denom
Example
- Time Reference: Discharge Dates from Jan 1, 2017 to March 31, 2017
- Number of patients who have discharge dates from Jan 1, 2017 to March 31, 2017 and who were on mechanical ventilation at HSC MICU = 158
- Opened Bed = 15
- Ventilated Patient Flow = 158 / 15 = 10.5
Data Sources
Same as Duration of Mechanical Ventilation. The number bed opened per unit is taken from the Bed Census Database.
