Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of this study was to compare the indices of rapid shallow breathing, neuromechanical efficiency (NME), and neuroventilatory efficiency (NVE) between patients being successfully extubated and those who failed weaning.
Detailed Description
Patients, mechanically ventilated for \> 24 h, were included when they met criteria for their first spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) on continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) (5-6 cmH2O) for 30 minutes. Patients who did not fulfill the criteria for successful SBT, or required assist, or deceased within 48h post-extubation were considered extubation failure (F). Patients who completed the SBT and remained extubated \> 48 h were considered successfully extubated (S). Before and during the SBT, arterial blood gases, heart, rate, blood pressure, and EAdi, flow, Vt, f, and, airway pressure (Paw) were measured. At 0, 5, 10, 15 and 30 minutes of the SBT, f/Vt, diaphragm electrical activity (EAdi), NME, and NVE were calculated. NME was calculated as Paw/EAdi during inspiratory occlusion. NVE was calculated as Vt/EAdi during unassisted inspirations.Arterial blood gases, heart rate, and blood pressure were measured. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was calculated to evaluate the predictive performance of each index.

Exclusion Criteria
- •(1) age \<18 or \>85 years, (2) tracheostomy, (3) treatment abandonment, (4) history of esophageal varices, (5) gastro-esophageal surgery in the previous 12 months or gastro-esophageal bleeding in the previous 30 days, (6) coagulation disorders (INR ratio\>1.5 and APTT\>44 s), (7) history of acute central or peripheral nervous system disorder or severe neuromuscular disease, (8) history of leukemia, severe chronic liver or chronic cardiac disease, (9) solid organ transplantation, (10) malignant tumor
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Neuroventilatory Efficiency (NVE)
Time Frame: at 30 minutes of the spontaneous breathing trials (SBT)
NVE is the ratio of tidal volume and diaphragm electrical activity (Vt/EAdi).It is a value describing how effective a patient's breathing is.
Secondary Outcomes
- Neuromechanical Efficiency (NME)(at 30 minutes of the spontaneous breathing trials (SBT))
