Official title
Parasternal Intercostal Muscle Thickness Versus Ultrasound Assessment of Lung Aeration as a Predictor of Weaning From Mechanical Ventilation; a Prospective Observational Study
Overview
Examine the predictive value of lung ultrasound in assessing the success of SBTs and tracheal extubation among patients receiving mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit (ICU).
Interventions
- Diagnostic test Ultrasound Assessment of the aeration of lung tissue and Parasternal Intercostal Muscle Thickness
Examine the predictive value of lung ultrasound in assessing the success of SBTs and tracheal extubation among patients receiving mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit (ICU)
Primary outcome measures
- The aim of this prospective observational study is to evaluate the predictive value of parasternal intercostal muscle thickness vs ultrasound assessment of lung aeration for prediction of weaning outcome from mechanical ventilation [Time frame: 6 months]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
- Mechanically ventilated patients will be included in the study when the underlying disease that had required intubation is considered by the attending physician as reversed and after fulfilling the criteria of weaning (alertness, and Adequate gas exchange, normal pH levels, low and stable doses of vasoactive drugs, normal electrolyte levels, and a rapid shallow breathing index (RSBI) of 105 breaths per minute per liter or lower ) rendering the patient eligible to a first SBT.
Exclusion criteria
- Exclusion criteria include patients aged < 21yrs , patients with tracheostomy, paraplegia with medullar level above T8, cardiac arrhythmias, severe ICU-acquired neuromyopathy, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with forced expiratory volume <50% of the theoretical predicted value, patients with planned prophylactic noninvasive ventilation after extubation, and patients who had previously failed a SBT
Criteria are shown verbatim from the registry (in English). Final eligibility is always assessed by the study center.
