Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Mechanical ventilation is likely lifesaving in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) but may also result in adverse events. Only few studies describe the strategies used and adverse effect of mechanical ventilation in an unselected population of ICU patients with COVID-19.

This study is designed to be a retrospective study focusing on all mechanical ventilated ICU patients with COVID-19 included in the national Danish COVID ICU database between 10.03.2020

  • 02.04.2021 i.e. a total of 1,193 patients. The investigators will register the use of the core interventions around mechanical ventilation and its potential adverse event, including barotrauma and prolonged ventilation.

This study will provide important data on the ventilation strategies used and its potential adverse events in unselected ICU patients with COVID-19 and thereby inform clinicians, patients, policy-makers, and future research in this area.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Ventilator days with lung -protective ventilation in percent of all ventilation days with 95%-CI. [Until 90 days]

      Low tidal volume ventilation (Vt 4-8 mL/kg of predicted body weight)

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Pneumothorax [Until 90 days]

      Pneumothorax noted in the medical record

    2. Ventilator days [Until 90 days]

      Number of days where the patients where the patient is ventilator depended

    3. Number of patients with prolonged ventilation [Until 90 days]

      Patients with more than 30 ventilator days

    4. paO2/FiO2 ratio on days of ventilation [Until 90 days]

      Ratio between measured arterial oxygen pressure and the fraction of inhaled oxygen

    5. The use of APRV [Until 90 days]

      The use of Airway pressure release as primary ventilator setting

    6. Prone position [Until 90 days]

      The use of prone position within the first 3 days and the use of prone position after day 3

    7. Time to spontaneous ventilation [Until 90 days]

      Time measured in days until the patients no longer needs controlled ventilation

    8. Tracheostomy [Until 90 days]

      Day after first intubation, Percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy (y/n), Surgical tracheostomy (y/n)

    9. Adjuvant drugs [Until 90 days]

      Adjuvant drugs at any time during mechanical ventilation

    10. Mortality [Until 90 days]

      Mortality at day 90
