Applicability of Lung Ultrasound During Weaning From Mechanical Ventilation: A Systematic Review
The included studies applied heterogeneous methodologies and cut-off values for sensitivity and specificity, limiting direct comparison and generalization. Despite these differences, findings suggest that lung ultrasound shows potential as an adjunctive tool in predicting weaning outcomes, although further standardized research is needed to clarify its clinical applicability.
