The present study aimed to investigate the feasibility of invasive-noninvasive sequential weaning strategy in patients after tracheostomy.METHODS: Fifty patients including 24 patients with withdrawal of mechanical ventilation(conventional group) and 26 patients with sequential invasive-noninvasive weaning by directly plugging of tracheostomy(sequential group) were analyzed retrospectively after appearance of pulmonary infection control(PIC) window. The analysis of arterial blood gases, ventilator-associated pneumonia(VAP) incidence, the total duration of mechanical ventilation, the success rate of weaning and total cost of hospitalization were compared between the two groups.RESULTS: Arterial blood gas analysis showed that the sequential weaning group was better than the conventional weaning group 1 and 24 hours after invasive ventilation. The VAP incidence was lowered, the duration of mechanical ventilation shortened, the success rate of weaning increased, and the total cost of hospitalization decreased.CONCLUSION: Sequential invasive-noninvasive ventilator weaning is feasible in patients after tracheostomy.展开更多
