Explanation: Codes for mechanical ventilation indicate whether the patient was on mechanical ventilation for fewer than 96 hours or more than 96 hours. The start time for calculating the duration begins with the start time of endotracheal tube insertion as the best method, followed by mechanical ventilation or the time that a patient who is on mechanical ventilation is admitted. The time ends with discontinuance of mechanical ventilation
