Ultrasound Diagnostic for Diaphragmatic Dysfunction in Reanimation

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Mechanical Ventilation Weaning
Interventions
Procedure: Diaphragmatic ultrasound
Registration Number
NCT02883465
Lead Sponsor
Centre Hospitalier Saint Joseph Saint Luc de Lyon
Brief Summary

Extubation is a crucial step when patients are being weaned from mechanical ventilator support. Indeed, the patient has to face an increasing burden imposed to the ventilation system. The ability to overcome this event will determine the patient survival. A warning signal could be very useful is this situation. 2 recent studies have shown that measuring diaphragmatic cupolas and muscular fibers thickening fraction could help to spot a population with a high risk of "diaphragmatic weakness", characterized by a high failure extubation rate. This study aims to verify that this kind of group of patients does exist.

Comparison between the predictive value of diaphragmatic ultrasound dysfunction and a clinical parameter : quantity of secretions measured with a defined scaleAt the extubation time

* any secretions

* low secretions

* mild secretions

* abundant secretions

* very abundant secretions

Comparison between the predictive value of diaphragmatic ultrasound dysfunction and a clinical parameter : presence/absence or cervical tonusAt the extubation time
Comparison between the predictive value of diaphragmatic ultrasound dysfunction and a paraclinical parameter : peak flow measured in L/min (liters per minute)At the extubation time
Comparison between the predictive value of diaphragmatic ultrasound dysfunction and a paraclinical parameter : peak flow when coughing measured in L/min (liters per minute)At the extubation time
Comparison between the predictive value of diaphragmatic ultrasound dysfunction and a clinical parameter : cough strength measured with a defined scaleAt the extubation time

The scale used to measure the cough is the following :

* absent

* inefficient

* low efficiency

* mild efficiency

* efficient

Comparison between the predictive value of diaphragmatic ultrasound dysfunction and a clinical parameter : F/Vt ratio measured in breaths/min/LAt the extubation time
Comparison between the predictive value of diaphragmatic ultrasound dysfunction and a paraclinical parameter : maximal inspiratory pressure in centimeters of waterAt the extubation time
Comparison between the predictive value of diaphragmatic ultrasound dysfunction and a paraclinical parameter : minimal expiratory pressure measured in centimeters of waterAt the extubation time
Comparison between the predictive value of diaphragmatic ultrasound dysfunction and a paraclinical parameter : P0,1 measured in millisecondsAt the extubation time
