About this trial

Occlusion pressure at 100 ms (P0.1) is a reliable and non-invasive index of inspiratory drive that can be measured easily on most ventilator. Unfortunately, P0.1 cannot be measured reliably in non-intubated patients. In those receiving non-invasive ventilation, the measurement of P0.1 might be inaccurate due to leaks. P0.1 cannot be measured at all in patients receiving high-flow nasal canulae (HFNC).

Ultrasound indices of diaphragm contractile function, namely diaphragm excursion, velocity and thickening fraction, could be reliable and non-invasive proxies of respiratory drive in non-intubated patient.

Our hypothesis is that ultrasound indices of diaphragm function may reliably estimate P0.1. To validate this hypothesis, theses indices will be measured simultaneously with P0.1 in intubated patients, during diaphragm loading conditions similar to spontaneous breathing: the spontaneous breathing trial (SBT). The SBT is used to evaluate if patients can breathe without the assistance provided by the ventilator, and thus, be weaned from mechanical ventilation.

Time perspective

Prospective

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Spontaneous breathing trial

    Device

    A plateau pressure measurement will be performed before starting the spontaneous breathing trial (SBT). Then, immediately and 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 minutes after the start of the SBT, the following will be performed as part of the study: * Subcostal diaphragmatic ultrasound: M-mode and tissue Doppler * Lateral diaphragmatic ultrasound: 2D mode and M-mode * Measurement of P0.1 * Measurement of Pocc during a tele-expiratory pause, only 5 minutes after the start of the SBT.
