Conditions

Mechanical Ventilation, Weaning Failure, Weaning From Mechanical Ventilation

Keywords

Parasternal thickening; failed weaning; extubation

Brief summary

optimal time to liberate from mechanical ventilation is highly prioritized since improper extubation time lead to serious consequences

Detailed description

Several parameters were proposed to assess proper weaning time including diaphragmatic ultrasound and extra-diaghragmatic muscles. previous research concluded an ability of parasternal intercostal (PIC) thickening to predict weaning outcomes. researchers of current study assumed that temporal changes in PIC thickening would provide greater ability to predict weaning outcomes

Interventions
