Overview

optimal time to liberate from mechanical ventilation is highly prioritized since improper extubation time lead to serious consequences

Description

Several parameters were proposed to assess proper weaning time including diaphragmatic ultrasound and extra-diaghragmatic muscles. previous research concluded an ability of parasternal intercostal (PIC) thickening to predict weaning outcomes. researchers of current study assumed that temporal changes in PIC thickening would provide greater ability to predict weaning outcomes

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

\- Mechanically ventilated for 24 hours or more ready for weaning

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Refusal Tracheostomized Inability to obtain ultrasound views patients with neuromuscular disease

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
