Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To compare the area under the receiver operating characteristic curves(AUROCs) of airway occlusion pressure (P0.1), parasternal intercostal muscle thickening fraction/Diaphragm thickening fraction ratio (PMTF/DTF), and Diaphragm thickening fraction/Rapid shallow breathing index ratio (DTF/RSBI) to predict weaning outcome in critically ill mechanically ventilated patients.Timepoint: 48 hours after Mechanical ventilation | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1.To compare P0.1, PMTF/DTF ratio, and DTF/RSBI ratios on subsequent spontaneous breathing trials (SBTs) 2.To correlate PMTF and DTF on the day of discharge from the intensive care unit (ICU) with the number of days of mechanical ventilation and length of stay (LOS) in the ICU. Timepoint: 48 hours after Mechanical ventilation till discharge from ICU | — |
