Brief summary
Weaning from mechanical ventilation is a critical issue and the diaphragmatic disfunction has been demonstrated to play an important role in extubation failure. the aim of present investigation is to evaluate diaphragmatic excursion velocity during in patients undergoing spontaneous breathing trial through tissue Doppler analysis in both inspiration and expiration.
Interventions
dTDI was performed at the end of the SBT to assess excursion, velocity, and acceleration.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change in diaphragmatic displacement velocity | an average of 20 minutes | Inspiratory and expiratory diaphragmatic displacement velocity evaluated with tissue doppler during the assisted ventilation modality which preceded the trial, during the spontaneous breathing trial and in spontaneous breathing. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Gas exchange - arterial carbon dioxide tension | through each trial completion, an average of 20 minutes | Arterial blood gases sample |
| Gas exchange - pH | an average of 20 minutes | Arterial blood gases sample |
| Diaphragmatic acceleration and deceleration | an average of 20 minutes | Diaphragmatic acceleration and deceleration evaluated with tissue doppler during the assisted ventilation modality which preceded the trial, during the spontaneous breathing trial and in spontaneous breathing. |
| Silverman Andersen Respiratory Severity Score (SA-RSS) | an average of 20 min | SA-RSS to assess work of breathing after extubation. |
| Number of patients who experienced weaning failure | 48 hours | the need for non invasive ventilation or re-intubation due to any cause |
| Gas exchange - arterial oxygen tension | an average of 20 min | Arterial blood gases sample |
