Detailed Description
lung congestion was defined as distention of blood vessels in the lungs and filling of the alveoli with fluid as a result of an infection, high blood pressure, or cardiac insufficiencies (i.e., inability of the heart to function adequately.
The process of weaning from ventilatory support takes almost 40% of the time spent on ventilator. Weaning indices like spontaneous tidal volumes, minute ventilation and rapid shallow breathing index, have been used extensively in clinical practice for weaning purposes . These parameters measure the overall respiratory volumes produced by the muscles of breathing and do not take into account the independent contribution of the diaphragm. During resting, the main muscle of breathing is the diaphragm .
Diaphragmatic excursion is the movement of the thoracic diaphragm during breathing. Normal diaphragmatic excursion should be 3-5 cm, but can be increased in well-conditioned persons to 7-8 cm. This measures the contraction of the diaphragm. Diaphragmatic excursion is positively correlated with lung inspiratory volumes and can accurately reflect the muscle strength and function . Diaphragmatic excursion is an index for respiratory muscle fatigue during the spontaneous breathing trial (SBT).
Thoracic fluid content (TFC) is one of the many variables measured by the ICON electrical cardiometry (EC) device. The ICON device is one relatively new proprietary implementation of impedance cardiography technology, which is also often called thoracic electrical bioimpedance .
Impedance cardiography is based on measuring the changes in total resistance of the thorax to electric current. The impedance to electric current is determined by the resistance of different tissues such as bone, muscles, and fluids. The fluid compartment is considered the dynamic component that would cause short term changes in thoracic impedance . TFC is calculated as the reciprocal of the total thoracic impedance and is considered a numerical measure of total (intravascular and extravascular) thoracic fluid . Although TFC is a measure of both extra and intravascular thoracic fluid, it might provide an estimate of the increase in intrathoracic fluids such as to facilitate the risk of pulmonary congestion , we hypothesized that TFC, as an estimate of lung congestion, can serve as predictor for weaning outcomes in critically ill patient.
