Measuring diaphragm shortening using ultrasonography to predict extubation success.
It is estimated that approximately 800 000 US patients annually require mechanical ventilation to treat acute respiratory failure due to medical disorders, trauma or the postoperative period. The use of mechanical ventilation is projected to increase significantly in the next few decades due to the impact of aging baby bloomers requiring more critical care resources. Although life-saving, the p...
متن کاملComparison of clinical utility between diaphragm excursion and thickening change using ultrasonography to predict extubation success
BACKGROUND/AIMS Both diaphragmatic excursion and change in muscle thickening are measured using ultrasonography (US) to assess diaphragm function and mechanical ventilation weaning outcomes. However, which parameter can better predict successful extubation remains to be determined. The aim of this study was to compare the clinical utility of these two diaphragmatic parameters to predict extubat...
متن کاملSuccess stories: use of patient vignettes to assess the ability of physicians to predict extubation success.
Safely returning intubated, mechanically ventilated patients to independent breathing requires 3 steps.1,2 First, clinicians must recognize when respiratory failure has resolved or improved enough to allow a spontaneous breathing trial (SBT). Second, a 30–120 min SBT should be used to test the patient’s ability to breathe without the ventilator.3 Third, if the SBT is successful, the physician m...
متن کاملWe need to predict extubation failure.
doi:10.2223/JPED.1539 One in every three pediatric patients admitted to the PICU requires ventilatory support for a mean time of 5 days.1 Even in the face of the clear and universally accepted benefits of mechanical ventilation (MV) applied to children with respiratory failure, the risks associated with it mean that the critical care team must constantly search for new ways to better understand...
متن کاملDeveloping a fuzzy expert system to predict technology commercialization success
A majority of efforts in terms of technology commercialization have failed; however, the issue of commercialization and its high importance are agreed upon by policymakers, entrepreneurs, and researchers. This shows the high complexity of the commercialization process. One of the main solutions to overcome the commercialization problems is to predict the success of technology commercialization ...
