Objective evaluation of cough and diaphragmatic ultrasound improve the predictive capacity of spontaneous breathing test for extubation success - COBRE-US trial
Abstract:Background
Use of clinical tests and ventilator weaning tests in conjunction with the spontaneous breathing test (SBT) can increase the predictive capacity of extubation success. Therefore, we assessed the predictive ability of SBT, cuff leak test, rapid-shallow-breathing-index, cough intensity, and velocity of diaphragmatic contraction (VDC) in successful weaning of mechanically ventilated patients.
Methods
A prospective multicenter observational study from in which consecutive adult patients admitted to 4 … Show more
