Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To evaluate ultrasonographic diaphragmatic parameters namely diaphragmatic excursion, diaphragmatic contraction velocity and diaphragmatic thickness fraction as a predictor of weaning and extubation outcomes in mechanically ventilated patientsTimepoint: 48 hours post extubation—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
2) To attempt to establish a relationship between number of ventilator days and ultrasonographic diaphragmatic parameters.Timepoint: 48 hours post extubation;To compare the ultrasonographic diaphragmatic parameters with each other in order to identify the most suitable parameter to predict extubation outcome.Timepoint: 48 hours post extubation—
