History of Changes
  Purpose

Nicotine patches are frequently used in smoking patients during their stay in the ICU in order to avoid tobacco's weaning symptoms which are likely to interfere with mechanical ventilation weaning.

Until now the effectiveness of this treatment has not been proven. The aim of this study (NICOREA study) is to determine if a difference exists on the duration of mechanical ventilation once patients receive or not a nicotine substitute.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Length of mechanical ventilation expressed in hours [ Time Frame: 48 hours after extubation ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Measured between the time of tracheal intubation to tracheal extubation without reintubation for at least 48 hours


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Length of stay in the ICU expressed in day(s) [ Time Frame: Within the first 30 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Number of failure of mechanical ventilation weaning [ Time Frame: Within the first 30 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Incidence of score above +1 of the RASS scale measured every 4 hours [ Time Frame: Within the first 30 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Number of days with delirium assessed by the CAM-ICU score [ Time Frame: Within the first 30 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Number of hours under sedation below RASS -4, between -3,-2, -2,+1 indexed by the overall duration of sedation [ Time Frame: Within the first 30 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Number of self-extubation(s) [ Time Frame: Within the first 30 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Number of pneumonia acquired during mechanical ventilation [ Time Frame: Within the first 30 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • SOFA score [ Time Frame: between 48 and 72 hrs ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Tobacco weaning rate at hospital discharge [ Time Frame: Within the first 120 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • 28th day mortality rate [ Time Frame: betwwen 28th and 48th days ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
