Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: The study group will be mechanically ventilated for at least 48 hours. Patients will be assessed daily for fulfillment of criteria of readiness to wean according to European Respiratory Society guidelines and assessment of the three parameters which is Rapid shallow breathing index ( RSBI), lung ultrasound score( LUS) and Diaphragmatic ultrasound (DUS) will be done for predicting weaning success.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients more than18 years old.
  • All patients intubated and requiring mechanical ventilation for 48 hours or more at respiratory intensive care unit (RICU)
  • Patients fullfiled the criteria of readiness to wean according to European Respiratory Society guidelines (ERS)

Who cannot join

  • Patients with neuromuscular disease or diaphragmatic paralysis.
  • Patients with tracheostomy.
  • Patients who undergone surgical operations especially abdominal and thoracic operation.
  • Patients with diseases that may affect the diaphragm (including pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum, patients with inserted intercostal tube (ICT), third trimester of pregnancy).

  • transthoracic ultrasonographyDevice

    1. The lung ultrasound score (LUS) will be calculated according to the observed worst ultrasound pattern and Finally, the LUSs of all the parts will added to obtain the total LUS for each patient (maximum36 points)
    2. The diaphragmatic ultrasound will performed for assessment of diaphragmatic thickness and motion.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Assessment of lung aeration by lung ultrasound score using MEDESION SONOACE R3 portable ultrasound apparatus in patients ready to be weaned from mechanical ventilation (MV) as a predictor of weaning success.

    The lung ultrasound score (LUS) will be calculated according to the observed worst ultrasound pattern using the convex probe (MEDESION SONOACE R3 portable ultrasound, Korea 2010). (normal aeration, LUS = 0);( moderate loss of lung aeration (multiple, well-defined B lines), LUS = 1);( severe loss of lung aeration (multiple coalescent B lines), LUS = 2); (lung consolidation, LUS = 3).Finally, the LUSs of all the parts will added to obtain the total LUS for each patient (maximum36 points).

    Measured: baseline

  2. Assessment of diaphragmatic thickness by diaphragmatic ultrasonography M-mode in patients ready to be weaned from MV as a predictor of weaning success.

    The diaphragmatic ultrasound will performed for assessment of diaphragmatic thickness by M-Mode Using the high frequency linear probe of 7.5 MHz.This will done in serial manner beginning 24 hours after RICU admission,then during spontaneous breathing trial till the patient is liberated from mechanical ventilation. DT difference (DTD) will be calculated by subtracting The Diaphragm thickening fraction (DTF) will calculated as: DTD/(DT at end-expiration) × 100%

    Measured: baseline

  3. Assessment of diaphragmatic motion by diaphragmatic ultrasonography M-mode in patients ready to be weaned from MV as a predictor of weaning success.

    The diaphragmatic ultrasound will performed for assessment of diaphragmatic motion by M-mode using the curvilinear low frequency probe (5 MHz).This will done in serial manner beginning 24 hours after RICU admission,then during spontaneous breathing trial till the patient is liberated from mechanical ventilation. Diaphragmatic excursion (DE) will identified and measured. DE amplitude will measured on the vertical axis by tracing from the baseline to the point of maximum height of inspiration on the graph.

    Measured: baseline

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Compare between sonographic lung aeration assessment, diaphragmatic indices and rapid shallow breathing index(RSBI) as predictors for results of weaning from mechanical ventilation(MV)

    Compare between sonographic lung aeration assessment, diaphragmatic indices and RSBI as predictors for results of weaning from MV and showing the predictive value for which parameter to predict weaning sucess alone or combining all three parameters together.

    Measured: baseline

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Oct 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Alaa M Taghyan, master (01093093050, alaataghyan@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Assessment of lung aeration by lung ultrasound score using MEDESION SONOACE R3 portable ultrasound apparatus in patients ready to be weaned from mechanical ventilation (MV) as a predictor of weaning success. (time frame: baseline). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05431036, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 4 Oct 2022.
