Clinical Details
Official title: Verlauf Und Respiratorische Zwischenfälle Bei Patienten Mit außerklinischer Beatmung
Study design: Observational Model: Cohort, Time Perspective: Prospective
Primary outcome: Respiratory Incidences
Detailed description:
Background: There has been arise in a number of patients requiring long term ventilation
both in the in-hospital as well as the out-of-hospital setting. Despite this, little is
known about the subsequent political course of this patients following hospital discharge.
Interventions: This is an observational prospective study over a period of one year in a
sample of 50 to 70 invasively ventilated patients living either in a nursing home
specialized in the care of ventilated patients or at home. Protocol had been developed
containing 20 suspected emergency incidences in respiratory care. The nursing staffs are
instructed about the study and how to complete the protocol. The protocol was placed at each
patient and every time an emergency occurred, the nursing staff registered the incidence. If
an emergency fulfils more than one criterion in the protocol, every applicable criterion was
marked. The data will be analyzed using non-parametric descriptive statistics.
