Mechanical Ventilation Epidemiology in Argentina.

Argentinian Intensive Care Society950 enrolled

Overview

How is the epidemiology of mechanically ventilated patients in the intensive care units of Argentina?

Mechanical ventilation is an indispensable tool in life support and one of the interventions that characterizes intensive care units (ICU). Epidemiological studies have allowed us to improve knowledge and optimize the treatment of patients with acute respiratory failure. In Latin America the epidemiological data of mechanical ventilation is poor. Primary goal of this national, observational, prospective, multicentric epidemiological study: to analyze the survival and describe epidemiological features of patients receiving mechanical ventilation in the Intensive Care Units of Argentina.
