Lung Ultrasound Score and Weaning Outcome

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Acute Respiratory Failure; Lung Ultrasound Score

• Registration Number: NCT05289960
• Lead Sponsor: Cairo University

Brief Summary

Objectives: Failure of extubation of patients on mechanical ventilation is one of the common problems in the ICU.

Aim of work: To evaluate the validity of lung ultrasound score in prediction of weaning outcomes and post-extubation distress.

Detailed Description

Methods: A prospective observational study of 50 patients planned for extubation who passed a spontaneous breathing trial, lung ultrasound score and serum level of NT-PRO BNP were done to all patients at end of spontaneous breathing trial, and all patients were followed after extubation and monitored for oxygenation, re-intubation rate, ICU stay, and ICU mortality.
