Conditions
Summary
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the population of chronically critical ill patients who refer to respiratory rehabilitation units. The main questions it aims to answer are: * what are the clinical and pathophysiological characteristics of the population of chronically critical ill patients who refer to respiratory rehabilitation units after hospital admission with the need for prolonged invasive mechanical ventilation via tracheostomy? * what is the response of this patient population to respiratory rehabilitation treatment in terms of functional recovery, weaning from invasive mechanical ventilation, weaning from tracheostomy tube, mortality and return to home? * are there any appreciable indices at admission and/or in the first period of hospitalization which may have a prognostic significance both on short-term objectives (weaning from invasive mechanical ventilation, weaning from the tracheostomy tube) and in the medium-long term (survival, state of health)? Participants will be subjected to a rehabilitation and weaning program consisting of: * physical therapy, * speech therapy, * nutritional assessment and therapy, * in subjects on invasive mechanical ventilation at admission a program of weaning and, if needed, shift from invasive to Non-Invasive Ventilation will be performed.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria2
- age >18 years;
- episode of acute or acute-on-chronic respiratory failure with the need for prolonged invasive mechanical ventilation via tracheostomy
Exclusion Criteria1
- condition of clinical instability such as to make it necessary to transfer the patient to acute hospital within the first 7 days of hospitalization.
