- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The main objective of this clinical study is to evaluate the efficacy of TTE and LUS in predicting weaning or extubation failure in mechanically ventilated patients suffering from AKI.Timepoint: 28 days
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The secondary objective of this clinical study is to determine if LUS alone can identify mechanically ventilated patients suffering from AKI who are at a higher risk of weaning or extubation failure.Timepoint: 28 days
