Article Synopsis
- - Diaphragmatic dysfunction is a key reason why patients struggle to be taken off mechanical ventilation; using ultrasound to measure diaphragmatic function can help predict weaning outcomes.
- - In a study of 68 patients, various sonographic measurements were analyzed, showing that a longer time to peak inspiratory amplitude (TPIA) indicates better chances of successful weaning.
- - The research found that TPIA has high sensitivity for predicting weaning success, while other parameters like diaphragmatic inspiratory excursion and thickening were linked to reintubation rates within 48 hours.
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine the diagnostic accuracy of portable ultrasound for detection of laryngeal edema (LE) in intubated patients.
Materials And Methods: We conducted a prospective, observational study from December 2010 to September 2011. We measured air column width differences (ACWD) in planned extubation patients admitted in intensive care unit by ultrasound.
Background: It is sometimes difficult to decide on a safe discharge of an acute asthmatic patient from the emergency room (ER).
Objective: To develop a predictive score for safe discharge of an acute asthmatic patient from the ER.
Material And Method: All adult asthmatic patients who visited the ER at Ramathibodi Hospital from January 2004 to August 2005 were recruited Vital signs, oxygen saturation, and severity factors were recorded.
