B-lines at Lung Ultrasound Predicts Weaning Failure From Mechanical Ventilation

We aimed to verify the potencial role of bedside lung ultrasound findings of critically ill patients candidates to liberation from mechanical ventilation in predicting weaning outcomes. The analysis will be taken in two times: immediately before and at the and spontaneous breathing trial.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Weaning Failure
Time Frame: Participants will be followed up til weaning success or weaning failure at the end of spontaneous breathing trial. In case of weaning success, then they will be followed for more 48 hours to detect extubation failure.
