Grip Test in Ventilated ICU Patients
Not Applicable
- Conditions
- Mechanically Ventilated ICU Patients
- Registration Number
- NCT01305421
- Lead Sponsor
- Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Brugmann
- Brief Summary
ICU patients do experience extubation failure. Guidelines rarely include muscle strength criteria. Prior work indicates that grip strength is a reliable surrogate for muscle strength. The purpose of the study is to assess the success rate of mechanical ventilation weaning based on the grip test.
