Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the predictability of successful weaning with LUS B line score guidance versus oxygenation indices guidance weaning (PaO2/FiO2 ratio, Oxygenation index, Oxygen saturation index) in intubated and mechanically ventilated patientsTimepoint: 1.Baseline (within 24 hours of intubation): Hemodynamics, ventilator settings, ABG, lung ultrasound B-line score. 2.Pre-SBT (before Spontaneous Breathing Trial): Repeat above parameters 3.Within 48 hours of extubation: Outcome assessment ? weaning success or failure.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To determine the cut-off values (scores for successful weaning/failed weaning) for each of the parameters (LUS B Line score, P/F ratio, OI, and OSI). To determine the correlation between the LUS B line score with each of the oxygenation indices. Timepoint: 1.Baseline (within 24 hours of intubation): Hemodynamics, ventilator settings, ABG, lung ultrasound B-line score. 2.Pre-SBT (before Spontaneous Breathing Trial): Repeat above parameters 3.Within 48 hours of extubation: Outcome assessment ? weaning success or failure.
