Combined lung and diaphragm ultrasound predicts extubation outcomes in ARDS: a prospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Extubation failure is a crucial issue for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Ultrasound of the lung and diaphragm is individually valuable for predicting extubation outcomes. We aimed to determine whether combined lung and diaphragmatic ultrasound could improve the accuracy of predicting the extubation of ARDS patients.

Methods

This was a prospective cohort study of ARDS patients who were ready for extubation. The lung ultrasound score (LUS), diaphragmatic displacement (DD), diaphragm thickening fraction (DTF), and diaphragmatic-rapid shallow breathing index (D-RSBI) were measured at the end of the spontaneous breathing trial. The primary outcome was extubation success. Logistic regression was used to combine these indicators, and the predictive performan
