Mechanical ventilation for acute respiratory failure in stroke patients shows high mortality. This intervention is not life-saving and requires careful consideration of other factors in ischemic stroke and intracerebral hemorrhage cases.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Critical Care Medicine
  • Pulmonology

Background:

  • Acute respiratory failure (ARF) is a critical complication following ischemic stroke (IS) and intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).
  • Mechanical ventilation (MV) is a common intervention for ARF, but its efficacy in neurocritical care patients is debated.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the therapeutic efficacy and outcomes of mechanical ventilation in patients with ARF secondary to IS or ICH.
  • To compare survival and MV duration in stroke patients with ARF versus patients with neuromuscular (NM) diseases.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 11 years of data from patients with IS (n=881) and ICH (n=108) requiring MV for ARF.
  • Comparison of in-hospital mortality and MV duration between stroke patients and patients with NM diseases.

Main Results:

  • In-hospital mortality was very high for stroke patients on MV: 90.5% for IS and 87.5% for ICH.
  • Mortality in stroke patients on MV was significantly higher than in NM patients (29%).

Conclusions:

  • Mechanical ventilation for ARF in stroke patients is associated with extremely high mortality rates.
  • MV in IS and ICH patients with ARF is not a life-saving measure and should be implemented cautiously, considering alternative factors.
