- Patients with tracheostomy and difficulty weaning from mechanical ventilation were studied to understand the role of ultrasound in assessing diaphragmatic function.
- The study involved 20 patients and measured factors like diaphragmatic movement and pressure using different techniques during spontaneous breathing trials.
- Results showed that significant differences in diaphragmatic movement were linked to successful weaning, suggesting that ultrasound evaluation could assist in predicting weaning outcomes in critically ill patients.
