Liberation and discharge status of older patients after invasive mechanical ventilation: a retrospective cohort study
This study shows that many older patients can be successfully liberated from IMV. However, one third of patients died in the hospital and one fifth of patients required prolonged hospitalization. IMV and hospitalization were likely to be longer among patients requiring CL ≥ 3. Therefore, it may be important to discuss not only the potential difficulty of liberation, but also to convey the risks of undesired outcomes and physical function decline when considering IMV.
