An observational study in Accuracy of DE and DTF in Prediction of Extubation Success, sponsored by Mongi Slim Hospital. Completed at 1 site in Tunisia. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2018-03-30.
Sponsored by Mongi Slim Hospital · Observational
This trial enrolled all the adult patients who were mechanically ventilated for more than 48 hours and met all creteria for extubation. Patients who needed reintubation for upper aiway obstruction, neurological or hemodynamic alteration were excluded. The diaphragm ultrasound was performed during spontaneous breathing test or pressure support ventilation trial measuring the dipahragmatic excursion (DE) and the diaphragm thickening fraction (DTF) whithin 24 hours before extubation.
This trial enrolled all the adult patients who were mechanically ventilated for more than 48 hours and met all creteria for extubation. Patients who needed reintubation for upper aiway obstruction, neurological or hemodynamic alteration were excluded. The diaphragm ultrasound was performed during spontaneous breathing test or pressure support ventilation trial measuring the dipahragmatic excursion (DE) and the diaphragm thickening fraction (DTF) whithin 24 hours before extubation. The investigators compared the median values of DE and DTF in the group of successfully extubated patients and the group of patients who needed reintubation.
Our study compared the utility of DTF and DE to predict extubation success.
All adult patients who were mechanically ventilated for more than 48 hours and meeting all extubation criteria without a history of neuromuscular disease or severe chronic respiratory failure
Exclusion Criteria:
diaphragm ultrasound and measurement of DE and DTF in patients meeting all extubation criteria during spontaneous breathing trial
extubation success
comparaison between DE and DTF values in successfully extubated patients
Time frame: 48 hours after extubation
Plan to share: Undecided
