Abstract
Objective: To investigate the impact of hand edema on weaning from mechanical ventilation among ICU patients.
Methods: A nested case-control study was conducted, collecting data from mechanically ventilated patients admitted to the ICU of Wuxi People’s Hospital from October 1, 2023, to January 31, 2024. Patients were monitored for the occurrence of hand edema within the first 7 days of ICU stay and their weaning outcomes were recorded to analyze the impact of hand edema on weaning success.
Results: The study included 124 patients, 97 successfully weaned while 27 failed. The failed weaning group had higher ages (70.8 ± 10.5 years), SOFA scores (17.7 ± 3.1), and levels of hand edema (Grade 0 in 6 patients, Grade 1 in 9, Grade 2 in 6, Grade 3 in 3, and Grade 4 in 3) compared with the successful weaning group (ages 61.1 ± 9.8 years, SOFA scores 14.3 ± 3.1, hand edema levels: Grade 0 in 78, Grade 1 in 15, Grade 2 in 3, Grade 3 in 1, and Grade 4 in 0). Multivariable binary logistic regression analysis indicated that the level of hand edema is an independent risk factor for weaning failure within 1 week in ICU patients on mechanical ventilation (OR = 3.209, 95% CI: 1.641–6.274, and p < 0.05).
Conclusion: The occurrence of hand edema in ICU patients on mechanical ventilation increases the risk of weaning failure.
