Thoracic fluid content by electrical cardiometry versus diaphragmatic excursion by ultrasound for the prediction of weaning success in patients with lung congestion
Both TFC and DE are significant predictors for successful weaning from mechanical ventilators. In particular, a TFC of <40 kΩ-1 demonstrated an excellent ability to predict weaning success in patients with low ejection fraction.
