Background Deciding the optimal timing for extubation in patients who are mechanically
ventilated can be challenging, and traditional weaning predictor tools are not very accurate …

Background The accuracy of diaphragm ultrasound for predicting weaning outcome is still
debated, despite the publication of numerous studies evaluating this issue. Objective The …

Background: Weaning failure is common in mechanically ventilated patients. Whether
ultrasound can predict weaning outcome remains controversial. This meta-analysis was …

Objective To predict the added value of diaphragmatic and lung ultrasound indices (US) in
anticipation of the outcome of mechanical ventilation of pediatric patients in the intensive …

Background Lung and diaphragm ultrasound methods have recently been introduced to
predict the outcome of weaning from mechanical ventilation (MV). The aim of this study is to …

Objective To assess whether the diaphragmatic and lung ultrasound (US) can be used as
additive new parameters for the weaning process in intensive care units (ICU) patients in …

Background Several parameters are used to predict successful extubation but their accuracy
varies among studies. We hypothesized that combining conventional and diaphragmatic …

AIM: Failure of weaning from mechanical ventilation (MV) is a common problem that faces
the intensivist despite having some prediction indices. Application of chest ultrasonography …

Materials and Methods: This was a prospective study conducted on patients admitted to
critical care unit at a tertiary care hospital in north India from February 2017 to June 2017 …

METHODS A systematic review was carried out on the published articles reporting the
accuracy of diaphragm US in prediction of weaning success in critically ill patients …
