Clinical Trial: The Accuracy of Combined Parasternal Intercostal Muscle Thickening Fraction and Diaphragmatic Excursion in Predicting Failure of Libration From Mechanical Ventilation

U.S., July 15 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07702422) titled 'The Accuracy of Combined Parasternal Intercostal Muscle Thickening Fraction and Diaphragmatic Excursion in Predicting Failure of Libration From Mechanical Ventilation' on Feb. 22.

Brief Summary: Approximately 20% of patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) requiring mechanical ventilation (MV) experience difficulty and prolonged weaning. Early spontaneous breathing trials (SBT) and timely extubation are essential to avoid complications such as diaphragmatic dysfunction, ventilator-associated pneumonia, and airway trauma.

Mechanical ventilation is a vital supportive therapy in critical care. However, both delayed weaning and premat...
