Significance

Ventilation duration can be considered a surrogate marker of interrelated factors such as : ICU patients characteristics (acuity, comorbidity, premorbid functional status), structural and process-related aspects of ICU care (staffing ratios, staff expertise, processes for effective ventilator). This is related to QA Infection VAP.

Sampling Plan / Procedure

Inclusion Criteria

100% sampling for all patients on mechanical ventilation. Mechanical ventilation includes:

  • Invasive Mechanical Ventilation via ET Tube or tracheostomy
  • Non-invasive CPAP or BIPAP

Exclusion Criteria

Patients who are not of mechanical ventilation

Frequency

  • Daily recording of dates a patient being on mechanical ventilation
  • Total number of ICU patients and ICU days being on mechanical ventilation are calculated and reported on a monthly, quarterly or yearly basis based on the daily data.
