Abstract

          Objective: The purpose was to determine the clinical characteristics, treatments, complications, risk factors for death from coronavirus 2019 infections and mortality rate in critically ill COVID-19 patients with invasive mechanical ventilation.

          Methods: A retrospective study was conducted using data from medical records of crisis patients over 15 years who were infected with SARS-CoV-2 and received invasive mechanical ventilation in Photharam Hospital between April 1, 2021 and March 31, 2022. Various factors were analyzed affecting to the patient mortality. Patients receiving palliative care were excluded from this study.

          Results: There were 75 critically ill COVID-19 patients with invasive mechanical ventilation with 59 deaths found (78.7%). Most of the patients were “608 risk group” with an average age of 65 years. Most common co-morbidities were hypertension, obesity; and diabetes for 65.3%, 56.0% and 42.7% respectively. Only 9.3% of patients had the history of receiving 2 or more doses of the coronavirus vaccine. The risk factors that increased the likelihood of death were patients’ age over 60, obesity, and 608 risk group. Patients with alteration of consciousness and qSOFA score more than or equal 2 including of treatment factors, specifically the patients needed to receive cardiac stimulants or muscle relaxants had likewise increased risk of death. Factors related to hospital-acquired complications, such as bloodstream infections and poor glycemic control, were additionally found more deaths.

          Conclusion: Critically ill COVID-19 patients with invasive mechanical ventilation have a high mortality. Especially in elderly patients, obesity, 608 risk group, patients need to receive cardiac stimulants or muscle relaxants, and patients with hospital-acquired complications are more likely to have mortality rate than those who do not need these medications and without complications. The assessment and preparation on appropriate treatments in this group of patients are important to reduce the mortality rate.
