About this trial

The accuracy of ultrasound assessment of the thickening fraction of the diaphragm, parasternal intercostal, and abdominal expiratory muscles for predicting weaning outcomes in mechanically ventilated patients. A prospective observational study

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Resolution or improvement of the disease leading to MV.

Adequate oxygenation, indicated by arterial oxygen partial pressure to inspired oxygen fraction (PaO2/FiO2) ≥ 200 mmHg, both with positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) ≤ 5 cmH2O and rapid shallow breathing index< 105.

Adequate pulmonary function, indicated by a RR<30 breaths/min with VT ≥5 mL/kg ideal body weight (IBW) and no significant respiratory acidosis with normal serum electrolytes.

Stable hemodynamics status, without or with minimal vasopressors

Disqualifiers

Pregnancy.

Presence of tracheostomy, pleural effusion, pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum, or hemothorax.

Presence of rib fractures.

Pre-existing cervical spinal injury, history or final diagnosis of neuromuscular disorders, and diaphragmatic paralysis or disorders

Trial population

Patients will be enrolled if they are ≥18 years old, on invasive mechanical ventilation (MV) for more than 48 h and are eligible for first spontaneous breathing trial (SBT)
