Lung ultrasound morphology patterns predict treatment response and weaning outcomes in high-risk mechanically ventilated patients.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between lung ultrasound morphology patterns-localized tissue-like patterns (TLP) and diffuse B-lines (DBP)-and patients' response to routine clinician-directed management in high-risk mechanically ventilated patients undergoing weaning.

Methods

In this retrospective study, 97 high-risk mechanically ventilated patients with a Lung Ultrasound Score (LUS) > 13 were stratified into TLP and DBP groups based on their lung ultrasound patterns. Lung reaeration was assessed using the Lung Recruitment Score (LRS) before and after the application of routine therapeutic measures. Primary outcomes included changes in LRS. Secondary outcomes included weaning failure rates, duration of mechanical ventilation, intensive care unit (
