Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: On invasive mechanical ventilation for more than 48 hours duration and put on spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) prior to extubation

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1.Short-term mechanical ventilation ( 2.Refusal of consent 3.Patients with spinal cord injuries above the t8 level 4.Presence of significant cardiac arrhythmia 5.Patients with pre-existing diaphragmatic disorders 6.Patients with any neuromuscular weakness or ICU-acquired neuromyopathy 7.Planned non-invasive ventilation(NIV) following extubation 8.Chest or abdominal trauma 9.Patients with distorted abdominal wall anatomy or localized fluid collections in the abdomen, hernias, abdominal wall hematomas, inguinal masses, femoral hernias & abdominal surgeries 10.Pregnant patients 11.Poor ultrasound window

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Combination of lung ultrasound score (LUS), diaphragmatic thickening fraction (DTF), diaphragmatic excursion(DE), internal oblique thickening fraction and diaphragmatic rapid shallow breathing index(D-RSBI) in prediction of successful weaning and extubation failure.Timepoint: 120 minutes following successful spontaneous breathing trial

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Estimate cut-off sensitivity and specificity of internal oblique thickening fraction and diaphragmatic RSBI to predict successful weaning. 2. Compose a comprehensive score based upon ultrasound based weaning indices for prediction of successful weaning. Timepoint: 12 months
