About this study

It is a prospective double blind study done on total 200 patients. Who were weaned from ventilator after being ventilated for > one week due to respiratory failure. This respiratory failure was selected in our study to be from severe lung contusion and post-traumatic acute respiratory distress syndrome. Patients were randomly allocated in one of two groups each group contain 100 patients. Group A considered control group. Those patients weaned from the ventilator by the conventional criteria of weaning. While group B weaned from the ventilator by the ultrasound criteria of weaning. All patients weaned from both groups followed for six days for signs of failure of weaning ,signs of post-extubation respiratory failure. And number of patients who were re-ventilated and who discharged from ICU in both groups recorded and compared.
