Mechanical ventilation duration

[mostafaalishahi]

would it be possible to extract the mechanical ventilation duration from the "respiratorycare" table as it includes the following offsets?

'ventstartoffset', 'ventendoffset', 'priorventstartoffset', 'priorventendoffset'

These durations are likely estimable for some hospitals. I would also recommend using the respiratorycharting table.

The method to calculate these durations may need to be adapted a the hospital-level, so you should try to validate your method by hospital, and make adjustments or new methods if needed.
