Mechanical ventilation in the emergency department for 24 hours or longer is associated with delayed weaning

In this population-based study, less than half of adult ED patients were admitted to an ICU 6 hours or less after arrival to an ED, an internationally recognized performance indicator for ED care quality. ED and ICU strain generated by time-varying demand on capacity was an important determinant of ED length of stay. However, prolonged length of stay in an ED did not measurably reduce 90-day mortality.
