NCT ID: NCT03894436 Completed - Weaning Failure Clinical Trials

Ultrasound-Guided Diaphragmatic Thickness Assessment as an Indicator of Successful Extubation in Mechanically Ventilated

Start date: January 30, 2018
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Weaning of mechanically ventilated patient is a daily challenge in Intensive Care units. Several indexes have been employed to assess the patient's ability to recover efficient spontaneous breathing. As the diaphragm is the main respiratory muscle, direct measurement of diaphragmatic function as predictors of extubation success or failure have not been extensively evaluated. Ultrasound can easily access diaphragm thickness (tdi) in its zone of apposition during, tdi can represent the contractile activity of the diaphragm and the efficiency of its function.
