Evaluation of abdominal expiratory muscle thickness pattern, diaphragmatic excursion, diaphragmatic thickness fraction and lung ultrasound score in critically ill patients and their association with weaning patterns: A prospective study
Evaluation of patient with diaphragm thickness fraction (mean DTF of 26%) and diaphragm excursion (2.52 cm) with mean LUS score of 4.67 opens a new dimension to predict weaning in critically ill patients who are put on spontaneous breathing trial. The sequence of thickness of abdominal expiratory muscles adds to accuracy in successful weaning. Larger muti-center trials are required to make these parameters as a standard practice for weaning patients in critical care setup.
