Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To evaluate the effectiveness of diaphragmatic peak contraction velocity (d-PCV) as a measurable variable of dTDI in predicting weaning outcomes in these patients. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To assess other dTDI variables, including contraction acceleration (d-AC), peak relaxation velocity (d-PRV), and relaxation acceleration (d-AR), and to assess the correlation between dTDI variables and factors such as mechanical ventilation days, ICU length of stay, and 7-day mortality. | — |
