NCT03567564 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 35

Last updated 2018-06-26

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of the study is to determine to what extent the abdominal muscles contribute to airway pressure, in order to investigate the correlation between muscles weakness and extubation outcome in mechanically ventilated patients. In addition the reliability of the sonographic measurements will be assessed.

Conditions

  • Muscle Weakness
  • Weaning Failure

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Abdominal muscles ultrasound

Abdominal muscles ultrasound during a spontaneous breathing trial using the M-mode to calculate the thickening fraction of the anterior and lateral abdominal muscles under multiple circumstances (tasks performed by the patients)
