TL;DR
Overall survival was significantly affected by age and cause of acute respiratory failure, but not by duration of mechanical ventilation, which was best in younger patients and those with COPD or postoperative respiratory failure and worst in patients resuscitated after cardiac or respiratory arrest.
Abstract
We conclude that age, cause of acute respiratory failure, and duration of mechanical ventilation have specific influences on the generally poor outcome of mechanical ventilation for acute respiratory failure.
