                              Note: Endotracheal Intubation
                              To calculate the number of hours (duration) of
                              continuous mechanical ventilation during a
                              hospitalization, begin the count from the start of
                              the (endotracheal) intubation. The duration ends
                              with (endotracheal) extubation.
                              If a patient is intubated prior to admission, begin
                              counting the duration from the time of the
                              admission. If a patient is transferred (discharged)
                              while intubated, the duration would end at the time
                              of transfer (discharge).
                              For patients who begin on (endotracheal) intubation
                              and subsequently have a tracheostomy performed for
                              mechanical ventilation, the duration begins with the
                              (endotracheal) intubation and ends when the
                              mechanical ventilation is turned off (after the
                              weaning period).
                              Tracheostomy
                              To calculate the number of hours of continuous
                              mechanical ventilation during a hospitalization,
                              begin counting the duration when mechanical
                              ventilation is started. The duration ends when the
                              mechanical ventilator is turned off (after the
                              weaning period).
                              If a patient has received a tracheostomy prior to
                              admission and is on mechanical ventilation at the
                              time of admission, begin counting the duration from
                              the time of admission. If a patient is transferred
                              (discharged) while still on mechanical ventilation
                              via tracheostomy, the duration would end at the time
                              of the transfer (discharge).
