Study Status: COMPLETED

Recruit Status: COMPLETED

Condition: Mechanical Ventilation Weaning

Study Type: OBSERVATIONAL


Official Title: Can Heart-lung-respiratory Muscles Ultrasound Evaluation Play a Role to Predict Weaning in Critically Ill Patients?

Brief Summary: Several studies investigated the role of specific clinical predictors of weaning success, but it is determined by a combination of different aspects that can result in success or failure.Indeed, unresolved lung disease, cardiac dysfunction, loss of respiratory and core muscle strength can play a role in a failure weaning to mechanical ventilation (MV).The investigators hypothesized that a combined score that include heart, lung, and respiratory muscle ultrasound (US) evaluation could be able to predict the ability…
