Abstract

Acute respiratory failure (ARF) is a common cause of admission to intensive care unit (ICU) that occurs due to several reasons. Among ICU patients, 40‐65% patients need mechanical ventilation during their ICU stay. Mechanical ventilation (MV) is cornerstone for management of acute respiratory failure. To determine the clinical profile and predictors of outcome in cardiac patients with preserved ejection fraction requiring mechanical ventilation in a tertiary medical care unit of central India. This was a longitudinal study conducted in Department of Medicine, Sri muthukumaran medical college and hospital,chennai A total of 100 patients in medical ICU requiring mechanical ventilation were included in the study. Data was entered and analyzed. 20.83 patients per 100 patients required mechanical support among those admitted in ICU. Mean age was 46.88 ±19.58 years with male (57%) predominance. Association between patientoutcome with sepsis (p<0.001), Ventilator associated pneumonia (p<0.001), presence of pneumothorax (p<0.001), extubatuion trial (p<0.001) and presence of comorbidities (p<0.001) was found to be statistically significant. This study may contribute to better knowledge of risk factors, better ICU environment, proper use of ventilators and the measures to prevent of complications arising during ventilation that can have a bearing on the patient’s outcome.
