Abstract Background Ventilator induced diaphragmatic dysfunction (VIDD), as a loss of diaphragmatic force generating capacity due to the use of mechanical ventilation. Difficulties in discontinuing ventilatory support are encountered in 20–25% of mechanically ventilated patients, with a staggering 40% of time spent in the intensive care unit being devoted to weaning. M-mode ultrasonography is now an accepted qualitative method of assessing diaphragmatic motion in normal and pathological conditions. In this study, we evaluated whether diaphragmatic excursion (DE) as measured by M-mode sonography can be a predictor of weaning and diagnosis of VIDD. Aim The aim of this study is to determine the presence of ventilator induced diaphragmatic dysfunction (VIDD) diagnosed by M-mode ultrasonography and its impact on weaning outcome. Methodology This study was conducted prospectively in critical care unit in Ain Shams Hospital, a university-affiliated, tertiary referral center in Cairo, Egypt. Study subjects included 78 patients between August 2017 to August 2018. who required mechanical ventilation ≥72hrs. who fulfilled the spontaneous breath trial (SBT) criteria, at the start of a 1-hr SBT, each hemidiaphragm was evaluated M-mode sonography with the patient in the supine position. Rapid shallow Breathing index (RSBI) was simultaneously calculated at the bedside. Ultrasonographic Diaphragmatic Dysfunction (DD) was diagnosed if an Diaphragmatic Excursion (DE) was <10 mm or negative, the latter indicating paradoxical diaphragmatic movement. Results Diaphragmatic Dysfunction (DD) among the eligible 78 patients was 48% (n = 37). DD group had longer weaning time [39,2 (26-56) hrs. vs. 22.3 (30-16) hrs. p = 0.001) in DD vs. NDD group respectively and total ventilation time [140 (130-150) hrs. vs. 130 (120–140) hrs. p > 0.05) in DD vs. NDD group respectively. Weaning failure was (45.8% vs. 30.8%, p=0.01) in DD vs. NDD group respectively. In NDD group Rt. DE, mean 25.4 ±4.1 mm. While Lt. side was 25.3±4.6 mm, 11.25mm and 22mm (45-15) respectively. In DD group Rt. DE, mean 7.6 ±2.02mm, IQR 2.4 mm and median 8.2mm (10-1.9). While Lt. side was 9.2±0.8mm, 4.3mm and 8.9mm (9.8-5.7) respectively. The area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (ROC) of ultrasonographic criteria in predicting weaning failure was near similar to that of rapid shallow breathing index. Hypercapenic acidosis in NDD group might protect them from VIDD Conclusions DD is present in a significant percentage 48% (nearly half) of our medical ICU patients on MV ≥ 72 hrs which largely account for weaning failure. DD was associated with a significant longer weaning time, and ICU stay, with no significant difference in 30 day mortality Recommendations DE by US measurements is a valuable tool and is recommended as an adjunctive weaning index to aid prediction of weaning outcome. Evaluating the role of spontaneous ventilation modes and advanced ventilation modes as PAV and NAVA effects on decreas ing VIDD versus controlled modes.

Background. Acupressure has been shown to improve respiratory parameters. We investigated the effects of acupressure on weaning indices in stable coma patients receiving mechanical ventilation.Methods. Patients were randomly allocated to one of three treatments: standard care with adjunctive acupressure on one (n=32) or two days (n=31) and standard care (n=31). Acupressure in the form of 10 minutes of bilateral stimulation at five acupoints was administered per treatment session. Weaning indices were collected on two days before, right after, and at 0.5 hrs, 1 hr, 1.5 hrs, 2 hrs, 2.5 hrs, 3 hrs, 3.5 hrs, and 4 hrs after the start of treatment.Results. There were statistically significant improvements in tidal volumes and index of rapid shallow breathing in the one-day and two-day adjunctive acupressure study arms compared to the standard care arm immediately after acupressure and persisting until 0.5, 1 hr, and 2 hrs after adjustment for covariates.Conclusions. In the stable ventilated coma patient, adjunctive acupressure contributes to improvements in tidal volumes and the index of rapid shallow breathing, the two indices most critical for weaning patients from mechanical ventilation. These effects tend to be immediate and likely to be sustained for 1 to 2 hours.

Introduction: Currently, chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major health problem and in the most severe conditions, kidney transplantation is an alternative treatment. However immunosuppression induced these patients to respiratory complications and endotracheal intubation. In order to assist the decision of the best time for weaning and extubation of these patients, there are predictive indexes that should be considered in preliminary assesment. Objective: To check the capacity of predictive indexes for weaning of mechanical ventilation, rapid shallow breathing index (RSBI), oxygenation rate (PaO2 /FiO2 ) and maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP) in predicting the success or extubation failure in kidney transplant patients. Methods: This study is a prospective cohort carried out with patients aged over 18, under mechanical ventilation for more than 24 hours. The patients were submitted to the Spontaneous Breathing Test, also the assessment of the Rapid Shallow Breathing Index, oxygenation index (PaO2 /FiO2 ), and maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP) and they were observed during 48 hours after to evaluate the success and extubation failure. Results: A total of 106 patients were eligible, and 20 of these were included with mean age of 46.9 ± 3.06 years and 14 of the subjects were male. Three patients showed extubation failure, and needed to have reintubation within the period of 48 hours as considered. Conclusion: The indices to predict weaning of mechanical ventilation, when within the expected normal values, seem to be able to predict extubation, with the exception of MIP that, even in cases of success, showed itself to be at levels lower than the predicted percentage.

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE: The use of the rapid shallow breathing index (RSBI) is recommended in ICUs, where it is used as a predictor of mechanical ventilation (MV) weaning success. The aim of this study was to compare the performance of the RSBI calculated by the traditional method (described in 1991) with that of the RSBI calculated directly from MV parameters. METHODS: This was a prospective observational study involving patients who had been on MV for more than 24 h and were candidates for weaning. The RSBI was obtained by the same examiner using the two different methods (employing a spirometer and the parameters from the ventilator display) at random. In comparing the values obtained with the two methods, we used the Mann-Whitney test, Pearson's linear correlation test, and Bland-Altman plots. The performance of the methods was compared by evaluation of the areas under the ROC curves. RESULTS: Of the 109 selected patients (60 males; mean age, 62 ± 20 years), 65 were successfully weaned, and 36 died. There were statistically significant differences between the two methods for respiratory rate, tidal volume, and RSBI (p < 0.001 for all). However, when the two methods were compared, the concordance and the intra-observer variation coefficient were 0.94 (0.92-0.96) and 11.16%, respectively. The area under the ROC curve was similar for both methods (0.81 ± 0.04 vs. 0.82 ± 0.04; p = 0.935), which is relevant in the context of this study. CONCLUSIONS: The satisfactory performance of the RSBI as a predictor of weaning success, regardless of the method employed, demonstrates the utility of the method using the mechanical ventilator.
