Mechanically Ventilated ICU Patients

Keywords

Brief summary

ICU patients do experience extubation failure. Guidelines rarely include muscle strength criteria. Prior work indicates that grip strength is a reliable surrogate for muscle strength. The purpose of the study is to assess the success rate of mechanical ventilation weaning based on the grip test.
