Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Number of ventilator-free days at day 28 The number of ventilator-free days is defined as the number of days a patient is breathing without assist of a ventilator during the first 28 days; thus, the patient must be free of mechanical ventilation for 24 hours to have one ventilator-free day; if after successful detubation the patient requires a reintubation due to a surgical procedure, this reintubation will not count as a ventilator day - however, the day(s) will be counted as ventilator day(s) if mechanical ventilation is prolonged after surgery due to respiratory insufficiency. at day 28
Secondary Clinical outcome parameters Clinical outcome parameters will include but not be restricted to: (a) length of stay (ICU and hospital); (b) mortality (28- and 90 days); (c) mortality (ICU and hospital); (d) daily Lung Injury Score (LIS); (e) daily Oxygenation Index (OI) ; (f) daily Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA)-scores ; (g) cumulative dosages of sedatives; (h) incidence of Ventilator-associated Pneumonia (VAP); (i) total number of bronchoscopy-guided cleaning of the larger airway daily or at day 28 and day 90
Secondary Laboratory outcome parameters Levels of markers of coagulation and fibrinolysis in blood and lung lavage fluid, Levels of markers of inflammation in blood and lung lavage fluid, Biomarkers of lung injury in blood and lung lavage fluid Blood and lavage samples: on admission day and every other day for a maximum period of 14 days
Secondary Safety parameters Safety parameters will include but not be restricted to: Occurrence of serious bleedings, any other transfusion of blood products - red cells and/or platelets and/or plasma, Confirmed Heparin induced thrombocytopenia, prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT > 150 seconds) daily, for a maximum period of 28 days
