New treatment option for Weaning Failure of Mechanical Ventilation
Official title Speckle Tracking Echocardiography for the Prediction of Weaning Failure
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT03657524
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Deciding the optimal timing for extubation in patients who are mechanically ventilated can be challenging, and traditional weaning predictor tools are not accurate. Recent studies suggest that isolated sonographic assessment of the respiratory and cardiac function (ie diastolic function and filling pressure), in mechanically ventilated patients may assist in identifying patients at risk of weaning failure.
