Summary

We will investigate whether measurement of the change in thickness of the diaphragm during the respiratory cycle by ultrasound can predict extubation success in a 48 hour window. We will also asses whether this is only possible on low levels of pressure support as has been shown previously, or if this technique retains its predictive power at higher levels of pressure support.

Conditions

  • Mechanical Ventilation Complication

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Diaphragm Ultrasound

Once on a pressure support weaning trial, enrolled subjects will have an ultrasound of their right hemidiaphragm performed on three levels of pressure support: 15/5 10/5 and 5/5
