简要总结
Invasive mechanical ventilation is a life-saving treatment in critically ill newborns with respiratory failure. However, continuing this treatment for a long time may have negative consequences, especially bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) secondary to mechanotrauma. For this reason, it is essential to terminate the mechanical ventilation treatment at the most appropriate time.
About half of the extremely preterm babies may fail extubation even if the clinical criteria traditionally used for extubation are met. Unsuccessful extubation is associated with increased intraventricular bleeding, death, BPD, death or BPD, longer duration of ventilator support.
When respiratory failure and lung pathologies of extremely preterm babies begin to improve, the target for mechanical ventilation should be early and successful extubation. Currently, the decision to extubate a preterm baby is primarily based on clinical judgment. Only a few studies that showed the low predictive value and limited utility using different measures have evaluated readiness for extubation. Lung ultrasonography (USG) is a noninvasive bedside technique that has been found useful for predicting the success of weaning from the ventilator in adults; however, very little data are available in neonates. In a recently published study, it was proposed an extubation readiness estimation tool based on clinical and demographic data of preterm babies who were attempted elective extubation.
The researchers' hypothesis is that the use of a model based on extubation success scoring and lung USG scoring before extubation reduces the failure of the first extubation attempt in very low birth weight infants. The aim of the study is to evaluate the value of using an integrated model based on pre-extubation "extubation readiness predictor" and lung USG scoring to predict extubation success in preterm babies undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation.
详细描述
Long-term invasive mechanical ventilation may have detrimental effects in preterm infants, although it is a life-saving treatment in critically ill newborns with respiratory failure. (e.g. bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), superimposed bacterial infections and colonization, air leak, etc.). For this reason, it is essential to terminate the mechanical ventilation treatment at the most appropriate time.
A significant portion of the extremely preterm babies may fail extubation even if the clinical criteria traditionally used for extubation are met. Unsuccessful extubation is associated with increased intraventricular bleeding, death, BPD, death or BPD, longer duration of ventilator support.

This study is a prospective observational study. The study is planned to be conducted in infants with a birth weight <1250 g, who were intubated within the first 7 days of life, remained intubated invasive conventional mechanical ventilation for at least 48 hours, did not complete the postnatal 60 days, and met the traditional extubation criteria of the institution and were considered for elective extubation for the first time.
