Point-of-Care Ultrasound Evaluation of Diaphragm as a Predictor of Extubation Success in Mechanically Ventilated, Malnourished, End-Stage Liver Disease Pretransplant Candidates—Observational Cohort Study
Point-of-care ultrasonographic assessment of the diaphragm offers insight into the function of respiratory muscles and the limited ability to predict extubation success. Further research is necessary to better understand its potential use in MV liberation in patients with ESLD and malnutrition.
