Evaluation of role of ultrasound in assessment of successful weaning from mechanical ventilation in critically ill patients
Abstract:Background: Mechanical ventilation waning failure is a common problem, and bedside ultrasonography could be helpful in prediction of the weaning process and its results.
Aim of The Work:To ssess by means of ultrasound how diaphragmatic parameters are important in predicting weaning outcome by assessing diaphragmatic thickness, diaphragmatic mobility and variation. Patients and Methods: This study included 62 mechanically ventilated patients who were subjected to transthoracic ultrasonography of the diaphragm t… Show more
