Abstract | ||||
Background: Mechanical ventilation is frequently provided to cases confessed in intensive care units [ICU] to decrease work of breathing, enhance oxygenation and correct respiratory acidosis. The association of Mechanical ventilation with clinical results was not carefully assessed. Aim of the work: To evaluate features and findings of ICU cases on mechanical ventilation in Damietta Al-Azhar University Hospital. Patients and Methods: This prospective interventional research was conducted on consecutive adult cases who received mechanical ventilation between January 2022 and January 2023 at Damietta Al-Azhar Chest Department RICU Unit, after approval from institutional ethical committee. The study included 195 patients in three groups, 78 patients on Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation [IMV], 99 on Non-invasive mechanical Ventilation [NIMV] and 18 underwent NIMV followed by IMV. Results: Our results showed variation among three groups concerning APACHE II and coma scores, PH, Pao2 and Pcao2, Type I and Type II respiratory failure, Baseline presentations, complications and mortality. Conclusion: From the findings of our study we can conclude that acute on top of chronic respiratory failure rests common reason for MV. | ||||
