Lung and Diaphragm Ultrasound in Predicting Extubation and Weaning of Mechanically Ventilated Patients in Intensive Care Unit

NCT07057804 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 90

Last updated 2025-07-10

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study aims to evaluate the role of lung ultrasound score (LUS), diaphragmatic excursion (DE), and diaphragmatic thickening fraction (DTF) as predictors of successful extubation in mechanically ventilated patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). It also compares these ultrasound-based parameters to traditional weaning criteria.

  • Lung
  • Diaphragm
  • Ultrasound

  • Intensive Care Unit

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Lung Ultrasound

Ultrasound was performed at the bedside with the patient in a semi-recumbent position using a 3.5-5 MHz curvilinear probe. Lung ultrasound was conducted across 12 zones (anterior and posterior) to evaluate aeration and calculate the lung ultrasound score (LUS).

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Diaphragm Ultrasound

Ultrasound was performed at the bedside with the patient in a semi-recumbent position using a 3.5-5 MHz curvilinear probe. Diaphragmatic excursion and thickening fraction were measured on the right hemidiaphragm.
