Effect of lung volume preservation during spontaneous breathing trial on successful extubation in patients receiving mechanical ventilation: protocol for a multicenter clinical trial. Trials 2024; 25:481. [PMID: 39014430 PMCID: PMC11251308 DOI: 10.1186/s13063-024-08297-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2024] [Accepted: 06/27/2024] [Indexed: 07/18/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND In standard weaning from mechanical ventilation, a successful spontaneous breathing test (SBT) consisting of 30 min 8 cmH2O pressure-support ventilation (PSV8) without positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is followed by extubation with continuous suctioning; however, these practices might promote derecruitment. Evidence supports the feasibility and safety of extubation without suctioning. Ultrasound can assess lung aeration and respiratory muscles. We hypothesize that weaning aiming to preserve lung volume can yield higher rates of successful extubation. METHODS This multicenter superiority trial will randomly assign eligible patients to receive either standard weaning [SBT: 30-min PSV8 without PEEP followed by extubation with continuous suctioning] or lung-volume-preservation weaning [SBT: 30-min PSV8 + 5 cmH2O PEEP followed by extubation with positive pressure without suctioning]. We will compare the rates of successful extubation and reintubation, ICU and hospital stays, and ultrasound measurements of the volume of aerated lung (modified lung ultrasound score), diaphragm and intercostal muscle thickness, and thickening fraction before and after successful or failed SBT. Patients will be followed for 90 days after randomization. DISCUSSION We aim to recruit a large sample of representative patients (N = 1600). Our study cannot elucidate the specific effects of PEEP during SBT and of positive pressure during extubation; the results will show the joint effects derived from the synergy of these two factors. Although universal ultrasound monitoring of lungs, diaphragm, and intercostal muscles throughout weaning is unfeasible, if derecruitment is a major cause of weaning failure, ultrasound may help clinicians decide about extubation in high-risk and borderline patients. TRIAL REGISTRATION The Research Ethics Committee (CEIm) of the Fundació Unió Catalana d'Hospitals approved the study (CEI 22/67 and 23/26). Registered at ClinicalTrials.gov in August 2023. Identifier: NCT05526053.

Accuracy of respiratory muscle assessments to predict weaning outcomes: a systematic review and comparative meta-analysis. Crit Care 2024; 28:70. [PMID: 38454487 PMCID: PMC10919035 DOI: 10.1186/s13054-024-04823-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2023] [Accepted: 01/29/2024] [Indexed: 03/09/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Several bedside assessments are used to evaluate respiratory muscle function and to predict weaning from mechanical ventilation in patients on the intensive care unit. It remains unclear which assessments perform best in predicting weaning success. The primary aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to summarize and compare the accuracy of the following assessments to predict weaning success: maximal inspiratory (PImax) and expiratory pressures, diaphragm thickening fraction and excursion (DTF and DE), end-expiratory (Tdiee) and end-inspiratory (Tdiei) diaphragm thickness, airway occlusion pressure (P0.1), electrical activity of respiratory muscles, and volitional and non-volitional assessments of transdiaphragmatic and airway opening pressures. METHODS Medline (via Pubmed), EMBASE, Web of Science, Cochrane Library and CINAHL were comprehensively searched from inception to 04/05/2023. Studies including adult mechanically ventilated patients reporting data on predictive accuracy were included. Hierarchical summary receiver operating characteristic (HSROC) models were used to estimate the SROC curves of each assessment method. Meta-regression was used to compare SROC curves. Sensitivity analyses were conducted by excluding studies with high risk of bias, as assessed with QUADAS-2. Direct comparisons were performed using studies comparing each pair of assessments within the same sample of patients. RESULTS Ninety-four studies were identified of which 88 studies (n = 6296) reporting on either PImax, DTF, DE, Tdiee, Tdiei and P0.1 were included in the meta-analyses. The sensitivity to predict weaning success was 63% (95% CI 47-77%) for PImax, 75% (95% CI 67-82%) for DE, 77% (95% CI 61-87%) for DTF, 74% (95% CI 40-93%) for P0.1, 69% (95% CI 13-97%) for Tdiei, 37% (95% CI 13-70%) for Tdiee, at fixed 80% specificity. Accuracy of DE and DTF to predict weaning success was significantly higher when compared to PImax (p = 0.04 and p < 0.01, respectively). Sensitivity and direct comparisons analyses showed that the accuracy of DTF to predict weaning success was significantly higher when compared to DE (p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS DTF and DE are superior to PImax and DTF seems to have the highest accuracy among all included respiratory muscle assessments for predicting weaning success. Further studies aiming at identifying the optimal threshold of DTF to predict weaning success are warranted. TRIAL REGISTRATION PROSPERO CRD42020209295, October 15, 2020.

Abstract
Weaning patients from mechanical ventilation (MV) is a complex process that may result in either success or failure. The use of ultrasound at the bedside to assess organs may help to identify the underlying mechanisms that could lead to weaning failure and enable proactive measures to minimize extubation failure. Moreover, ultrasound could be used to accurately identify pulmonary diseases, which may be responsive to respiratory physiotherapy, as well as monitor the effectiveness of physiotherapists' interventions. This article provides a comprehensive review of the role of ultrasonography during the weaning process in critically ill patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Weaning failure is common in mechanically ventilated patients, and whether ultrasound (US) can predict weaning outcome remains controversial. This review aims to evaluate the diaphragmatic function measured by US as a predictor of weaning outcome. METHODS PubMed was searched to identify original articles about the use of diaphragmatic US in ICU patients. A total of 61 citations were retrieved initially; available data of 26 studies were included in this review. RESULTS To assess diaphragmatic dysfunction in adults, six studies evaluated excursion, five evaluated thickening fraction, and both in nine. Despite heterogeneity in the diagnostic accuracy of diaphragm US among the studies, the sonographic indices showed good diagnostic performance for predicting weaning outcome. CONCLUSIONS Diaphragmatic US can be a useful and accurate tool to detect diaphragmatic dysfunction in critically ill patients and predict weaning outcome.

Abstract
Acute respiratory failure (ARF) is a challenging condition that clinicians, especially in emergency settings, have to face frequently. Especially in emergency settings, many underlying diseases can lead to ARF and life-threatening conditions have to be promptly assessed and correctly treated to avoid unfavorable outcomes. In recent years, point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) gained growing consideration due to its bedside utilization, reliability and reproducibility even in emergency settings especially in unstable patients. Research on POCUS application to assess ARF has been largely reported mainly with observational studies showing heterogeneous results from many different applications. This narrative review describes the wide potentiality of POCUS to face airways and breathing life-threatening conditions such as upper airway management, pulmonary and pleural pathologies and diaphragm impairment. We conducted extensive research of the literature to report from major studies to case reports deemed useful in practical clinical utilization of POCUS in ARF. Due to the huge amount of the literature found, we focused on airways and breathing assessment trying to systematize the evidence according to clinical care of ARF in emergency settings. Further studies, possibly trials, should determine how POCUS is crucial in clinical practice in terms of standard of care improvements, patient safety and cost-benefit analysis.

Effectiveness of diaphragmatic ultrasound as a predictor of successful weaning from mechanical ventilation: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Crit Care 2023; 27:174. [PMID: 37147688 PMCID: PMC10161591 DOI: 10.1186/s13054-023-04430-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2022] [Accepted: 04/04/2023] [Indexed: 05/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Several measurements have been used to predict the success of weaning from mechanical ventilation; however, their efficacy varies in different studies. In recent years, diaphragmatic ultrasound has been used for this purpose. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of diaphragmatic ultrasound in predicting the success of weaning from mechanical ventilation. METHODS Two investigators independently searched PUBMED, TRIP, EMBASE, COCHRANE, SCIENCE DIRECT, and LILACS for articles published between January 2016 and July 2022. The methodological quality of the studies was assessed using the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2 tool; additionally, the certainty of the evidence is evaluated using the GRADE (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation) methodology. Sensitivity and specificity analysis was performed for diaphragmatic excursion and diaphragmatic thickening fraction; positive and negative likelihood ratios and diagnostic odds ratios (DOR) with their confidence intervals (95% CI) were calculated by random effects analysis, summary receiver operating characteristic curve was estimated. Sources of heterogeneity were explored by subgroup analysis and bivariate meta-regression. RESULTS Twenty-six studies were included, of which 19 were included in the meta-analysis (1204 patients). For diaphragmatic excursion, sensitivity was 0.80 (95% CI 0.77-0.83), specificity 0.80 (95% CI 0.75-0.84), area under the summary receiver operating characteristic curve 0.87 and DOR 17.1 (95% CI 10.2-28.6). For the thickening fraction, sensitivity was 0.85 (95% CI 0.82-0.87), specificity 0.75 (95% CI 0.69-0.80), area under the summary receiver operating characteristic curve 0.87 and DOR 17.2 (95% CI 9.16-32.3). There was heterogeneity among the included studies. When performing a subgroup analysis and excluding studies with atypical cutoff values, sensitivity and specificity increased for diaphragmatic thickening fraction; sensitivity increased and specificity decreased for diaphragmatic excursion; when comparing studies using pressure support (PS) versus T-tube, there was no significant difference in sensitivity and specificity; bivariate meta-regression analysis shows that patient position at the time of testing was a factor of heterogeneity in the included studies. CONCLUSIONS Measurement of diaphragmatic excursion and diaphragmatic thickening fraction predict the probability of successful weaning from mechanical ventilation with satisfactory diagnostic accuracy; however, significant heterogeneity was evident in the different included studies. Studies of high methodological quality in specific subgroups of patients in intensive care units are needed to evaluate the role of diaphragmatic ultrasound as a predictor of weaning from mechanical ventilation.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review aims to summarize the impact of lung ultrasonography (LUS) on economics and possible impact on patients' outcomes, proven its diagnostic accuracy in patients with acute respiratory failure. RECENT FINDINGS Despite some previous ethical concerns on LUS examination, today this technique has showed several advantages. First, it is now clear that the daily use of LUS can provide a relevant cost reduction in healthcare of patients with acute respiratory failure, while reducing the risk of transport of patients to radiological departments for chest CT scan. In addition, LUS reduces the exposition to x-rays since can replace the bedside chest X-ray examination in many cases. Indeed, LUS is characterized by a diagnostic accuracy that is even superior to portable chest X-ray when performed by well trained personnel. Finally, LUS examination is a useful tool to predict the course of patients with pneumonia, including the need for hospitalization and ICU admission, noninvasive ventilation failure and orotracheal intubation, weaning success, and mortality. SUMMARY LUS should be implemented not only in Intensive Care Units, but also in other setting like emergency departments. Since most data comes from the recent coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, further investigations are required in Acute Respiratory Failure of different etiologies.

Accuracy of lung and diaphragm ultrasound in predicting successful extubation in extremely preterm infants: A prospective observational study. Pediatr Pulmonol 2023; 58:530-539. [PMID: 36324211 DOI: 10.1002/ppul.26223] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2022] [Revised: 09/28/2022] [Accepted: 11/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Chest ultrasound has emerged as a promising tool in predicting extubation readiness in adults and children, yet its utility in preterm infants is lacking. Our aim was to assess the utility of lung ultrasound severity score (LUSS) and diaphragmatic function in predicting extubation readiness in extremely preterm infants. STUDY DESIGN In this prospective cohort study, preterm infants < 28 weeks gestational age (GA) who received invasive mechanical ventilation for ≥12 h were enrolled. Chest ultrasound was performed before extubation. The primary outcome was lung ultrasound accuracy for predicting successful extubation at 3 days. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression were done using SPSS version 22. RESULTS We enrolled 45 infants, of whom 36 (80%) were successfully extubated. GA and postmenstrual age (PMA) at extubation were significantly higher in the successful group. The LUSS was significantly lower in the successful group compared to failed group (11.9 ± 3.2 vs. 19.1 ± 3.1 p < 0.001). The two groups had no statistically significant difference in diaphragmatic excursion or diaphragmatic thickness fraction. Logistic regression analysis controlling for GA and PMA at extubation showed LUSS was an independent predictor for successful extubation (odd ratio 0.46, 95% confidence interval [0.23-0.9], p = 0.02). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.95 (p ˂ 0.001) for LUSS, and a cut-off value of ≥15 had 95% sensitivity and 85% specificity in detecting extubation failure. CONCLUSION In extremely preterm infants, lung ultrasound has good accuracy for predicting successful extubation. However, diaphragmatic measurements were not reliable predictors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Significant variations exist in the use of respiratory muscle ultrasound in intensive care with no society-level consensus on the optimal methodology. This systematic review aims to evaluate, synthesize, and compare the clinimetric properties of different image acquisition and analysis methodologies. DATA SOURCES Systematic search of five databases up to November 24, 2021. STUDY SELECTION Studies were included if they enrolled at least 50 adult ICU patients, reported respiratory muscle (diaphragm or intercostal) ultrasound measuring either echotexture, muscle thickness, thickening fraction, or excursion, and evaluated at least one clinimetric property. Two independent reviewers assessed titles, abstracts, and full text against eligibility. DATA EXTRACTION Study demographics, ultrasound methodologies, and clinimetric data. DATA SYNTHESIS Sixty studies, including 5,025 patients, were included with 39 studies contributing to meta-analyses. Most commonly measured was diaphragm thickness (DT) or diaphragm thickening fraction (DTF) using a linear transducer in B-mode, or diaphragm excursion (DE) using a curvilinear transducer in M-mode. There are significant variations in imaging methodology and acquisition across all studies. Inter- and intrarater measurement reliabilities were generally excellent, with the highest reliability reported for DT (ICC, 0.98; 95% CI, 0.94-0.99). Pooled data demonstrated acceptable to excellent accuracy for DT, DTF, and DE to predicting weaning outcome after 48 to 72 hours postextubation (DTF AUC, 0.79; 95% CI, 0.73-0.85). DT imaging was responsive to change over time. Only three eligible studies were available for intercostal muscles. Intercostal thickening fraction was shown to have excellent accuracy of predicting weaning outcome after 48-hour postextubation (AUC, 0.84; 95% CI, 0.78-0.91). CONCLUSIONS Diaphragm muscle ultrasound is reliable, valid, and responsive in ICU patients, but significant variation exists in the imaging acquisition and analysis methodologies. Future work should focus on developing standardized protocols for ultrasound imaging and consider further research into the role of intercostal muscle imaging.

Ultrasonography Comparison of Diaphragm Morphological Structure and Function in Young and Middle-Aged Subjects with and without Non-Specific Chronic Low Back Pain: A Case-Control Study. Pain Res Manag 2022; 2022:7929982. [PMID: 36569461 PMCID: PMC9788885 DOI: 10.1155/2022/7929982] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2022] [Revised: 11/06/2022] [Accepted: 11/25/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
Background It is reported that impaired postural control in patients with non-specific chronic low back pain (NCLBP) was associated with "core" trunk muscle incoordination. However, as the diaphragm is an important component of the "core" deep trunk muscle group, we still know little about the potential relationship between diaphragm dysfunction and NCLBP. Objectives This case-control study is intended to investigate the changes of diaphragm morphological structure and function in young and middle-aged subjects with and without NCLBP by ultrasound evaluation and its possible validity in predicating the occurrence of NCLBP. Methods 31 subjects with NCLBP (NCLBP group) and 32 matched healthy controls (HC group) were enrolled in this study. The diaphragm thickness at the end of inspiration (T ins) or expiration (T exp) during deep breathing was measured through B-mode ultrasound, and the diaphragm excursion (T exc) was estimated at deep breathing through M-mode ultrasound. The diaphragm thickness change rate (T rate) was calculated by the formula: T rate=(T ins - T exp)/T exp × 100%. Results Compared with the HC group, the NCLBP group had a significant smaller degree of Tins (t = -3.90, P < 0.001), T exp (Z = -2.79, P=0.005), and T rate (t = -2.03, P=0.047). However, there was no statistical difference in T exc between the two groups (t = -1.42, P=0.161). The binary logistic regression analysis indicated that T rate (OR = 16.038, P=0.014) and T exp (OR = 7.714, P=0.004) were potential risk factors for the occurrence of NCLBP. Conclusions The diaphragm morphological structure and function were changed in young and middle-aged subjects with NCLBP, while the diaphragm thickness change rate (T rate) and diaphragm thickness at the end of expiration (T exp) may be conductive to the occurrence of NCLBP. Furthermore, these findings may suggest that abnormal diaphragm reeducation is necessary for the rehabilitation of patients with NCLBP.

Abstract
Background Antenatal steroid administrations lead to not only accelerated lung maturation, improved blood gas measurements but also lung dynamics and lung compliance. This study aimed to investigate structural and functional changes in diaphragm after antenatal steroid administration. Methods The 79 volunteers were divided into 2 groups according to presence of preterm delivery. Betamethasone (CelestoneR) 12 mg intramuscularly was routinely administered to pregnancies complicated with preterm delivery between 28th -34th weeks of gestation. Same dose was repeated 24 h later. In all patients, diaphragm thickness, diaphragmatic excursion and costophrenic angle were measured in both the inspirium and expirium stage of respiration. This is an observational cross-sectional study. Results Diaphragm thickness, diaphragmatic excursion and diaphragm thickening fraction parameters were improved but costophrenic angle was not different 7 days after steroid administration. Diaphragm thickness, diaphragmatic excursion and costophrenic angle changes during inspiration and expiration stage after 7 days of betamethasone treatment reflects the effect of steroid administration on diaphragm muscle. Comparisons of the differences that occur after steroid rescue protocol were done by subtracting the diaphragm thickness, diaphragmatic excursion and costophrenic angle parameters before the treatment from the diaphragm thickness, diaphragmatic excursion and costophrenic angle parameters 7 days after steroid treatment respectively. Conclusion Diaphragm became more mobile in patients with preterm labor, 7 days after steroid administration. This situation reflects positive effect of steroid administration on diaphragm function.

Abstract
Timely weaning of mechanical ventilation is clinically difficult, as both early and late discontinuations are associated with adverse events impeding the patient's favorable course in the critical care unit. Many parameters aid in judging whether the patient is going to be safely extubated; however, some remain deficient. We herein describe diaphragmatic ultrasound as a new modality for this purpose, detailing diaphragm excursion and thickness as means of it.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Due to heart, lung and diaphragm interactions during weaning from mechanical ventilation, an ultrasound integrated approach may be useful in the detection of dysfunctions potentially leading to weaning failure. In this review, we will summarize the most recent advances concerning the ultrasound applications relevant to the weaning from mechanical ventilation. RECENT FINDINGS The role of ultrasonographic examination of heart, lung and diaphragm has been deeply investigated over the years. Most recent findings concern the ability of lung ultrasound in detecting weaning induced pulmonary edema during spontaneous breathing trial. Furthermore, in patients at high risk of cardiac impairments, global and anterolateral lung ultrasound scores have been correlated with weaning and extubation failure, whereas echocardiographic indexes were not. For diaphragmatic ultrasound evaluation, new indexes have been proposed for the evaluation of diaphragm performance during weaning, but further studies are needed to validate these results. SUMMARY The present review summarizes the potential role of ultrasonography in the weaning process. A multimodal integrated approach allows the clinician to comprehend the pathophysiological processes of weaning failure.

Abstract
Point-of-care lung ultrasound (LUS) is increasingly applied in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Diagnostic applications for LUS in the NICU contain the diagnosis of many common neonatal pulmonary diseases (such as Respiratory distress syndrome, Transient tachypnea of the newborn, Meconium aspiration syndrome, Pneumonia, Pneumothorax, and Pleural effusion) which have been validated. In addition to being employed as a diagnostic tool in the classical sense of the term, recent studies have shown that the number and type of artifacts are associated with lung aeration. Based on this theory, over the last few years, LUS has also been used as a semi-quantitative method or as a "functional" tool. Scores have been proposed to monitor the progress of neonatal lung diseases and to decide whether or not to perform a specific treatment. The semi-quantitative LUS scores (LUSs) have been developed to predict the demand for surfactant therapy, the need of respiratory support and the progress of bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Given their ease of use, accuracy and lack of invasiveness, the use of LUSs is increasing in clinical practice. Therefore, this manuscript will review the application of LUSs in neonatal lung diseases.

Abstract
Background To produce statements based on the available evidence and an expert consensus (as members of the Lung Ultrasound Working Group of the Italian Society of Analgesia, Anesthesia, Resuscitation, and Intensive Care, SIAARTI) on the use of lung ultrasound for the management of patients with COVID-19 admitted to the intensive care unit. Methods A modified Delphi method was applied by a panel of anesthesiologists and intensive care physicians expert in the use of lung ultrasound in COVID-19 intensive critically ill patients to reach a consensus on ten clinical questions concerning the role of lung ultrasound in the following: COVID-19 diagnosis and monitoring (with and without invasive mechanical ventilation), positive end expiratory pressure titration, the use of prone position, the early diagnosis of pneumothorax- or ventilator-associated pneumonia, the process of weaning from invasive mechanical ventilation, and the need for radiologic chest imaging. Results A total of 20 statements were produced by the panel. Agreement was reached on 18 out of 20 statements (scoring 7–9; “appropriate”) in the first round of voting, while 2 statements required a second round for agreement to be reached. At the end of the two Delphi rounds, the median score for the 20 statements was 8.5 [IQR 8.9], and the agreement percentage was 100%. Conclusion The Lung Ultrasound Working Group of the Italian Society of Analgesia, Anesthesia, Resuscitation, and Intensive Care produced 20 consensus statements on the use of lung ultrasound in COVID-19 patients admitted to the ICU. This expert consensus strongly suggests integrating lung ultrasound findings in the clinical management of critically ill COVID-19 patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Guided endodontics technique has been introduced for years, but the accuracy in different types of teeth has yet to be assessed. The aim of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of three dimensional (3D)-printed endodontic guides for access cavity preparation in different types of teeth, and to evaluate the predictive ability of angular and linear deviation on canal accessibility ex vivo. METHOD Eighty-four extracted human teeth were mounted into six jaw models and categorised into three groups: anterior teeth (AT), premolar (P), and molar (M). Preoperative cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and surface scans were taken and matched using implant planning software. Virtual access cavity planning was performed, and templates were produced using a 3D printer. After access cavities were performed, the canal accessibility was recorded. Postoperative CBCT scans were superimposed in software. Coronal and apical linear deviations and angular deviations were measured and evaluated with nonparametric statistics. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the predictive ability of angular and linear deviation for canal accessibility in SPSS v20. RESULTS A total of 117 guided access cavities were created and 23 of them were record as canal inaccessibility, but all canals were accessible after canal negotiation. The average linear deviation for all groups was 0.13 ± 0.21 mm at coronal position, 0.46 ± 0.4 mm at apical position, and 2.8 ± 2.6° in angular deviation. At the coronal position, the linear deviations of the AT and P groups were significantly lower than M group deviation (P < 0.05), but no statistically significant difference between AT group and P group. The same results were found in linear deviation at the apical position and in angular deviation. The area under the ROC curve was 0.975 in angular deviation, 0.562 in linear deviation at the coronal position, and 0.786 at the apical position. Statistical significance was noted in linear deviation at the apical position and in angular deviation (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, this study demonstrated that the accuracy of access cavity preparation with 3D-printed endodontic guides was acceptable. The linear and angular deviations in the M group were significantly higher than those in the other groups, which might be caused by the interference of the opposite teeth. Angular deviation best discriminated the canal access ability of guided access cavity preparation.

Abstract
Cardiogenic shock (CS) is associated with a high in-hospital mortality despite the achieved advances in diagnosis and management. Invasive mechanical ventilation and circulatory support constitute the highest step in cardiogenic shock therapy. Once established, taking the decision of weaning from such support is challenging. Intensive care unit (ICU) bedside echocardiography provides noninvasive, immediate, and low-cost monitoring of hemodynamic parameters such as cardiac output, filling pressure, structural disease, congestion status, and device functioning. Supplemented by an ultrasound of the lung and diaphragm, it is able to provide valuable information about signs suggesting a weaning failure. The aim of this article was to review the state of the art taking into account current evidence and knowledge on ICU bedside ultrasound for the evaluation of weaning from mechanical ventilation and circulatory support in cardiogenic shock.

Abstract
The use of point of care ultrasound (POCUS) at the bedside has increased dramatically within emergency medicine and in critical care. Applications of POCUS have spread to include diaphragmatic assessments in both adults and children. Diaphragm POCUS can be used to assess for diaphragm dysfunction (DD) and atrophy or to guide ventilator titration and weaning. Quantitative, semi-quantitative and qualitative measurements of diaphragm thickness, diaphragm excursion, and diaphragm thickening fraction provide objective data related to DD and atrophy. The potential for quick, noninvasive, and repeatable bedside diaphragm assessments has led to a growing amount of literature on diaphragm POCUS. To date, there are no reviews of the current state of diaphragm POCUS in pediatric critical care. The aims of this narrative review are to summarize the current literature regarding techniques, reference values, applications, and future innovations of diaphragm POCUS in critically ill children. A summary of current practice and future directions will be discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A weaning trial can be considered a stress test of the cardiorespiratory system; it increases oxygen demand and thus warrants a higher cardiac index and elevated breathing effort. We hypothesized that the combination of easily performed ultrasound measurements of heart, lungs, and diaphragm would yield good diagnostic accuracy to predict extubation failure. METHODS Adult subjects ventilated for > 72 h with a successful spontaneous breathing trial were included. Ultrasound measurements of heart (left ventricular function), lungs (number of B-lines), and diaphragm thickening fraction were performed during a spontaneous breathing trial. The primary outcomes were sensitivity, specificity, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of a holistic ultrasound approach for extubation failure. Re-intubation within 48 h was considered extubation failure. RESULTS Eighty-three subjects were included, of whom 15 (18%) were re-intubated within 48 h. The sensitivity and specificity of a holistic approach were 100% (78.2-100%) and 7.7% (2.5-17.1%), respectively, with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.54. The sensitivity and specificity of diaphragm thickening fraction, using a cutoff value of < 30% for extubation failure were 86.7% (59.5-98.3%) and 25.4% (15.5-37.5%), respectively, with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.61. CONCLUSIONS In subjects ventilated for > 72 h who had a successful spontaneous breathing trial, holistic ultrasound was a weak predictor for extubation failure.

Abstract
Aim: Optimum timing is crucial to avoid negative outcomes of weaning. We aimed to investigate predictive values of diaphragmatic thickening fraction (DTF), diaphragmatic excursion (DE), and anterolateral lung ultrasound (LUS) scores in extubation success and compare with rapid shallow breathing index (RSBI) in patients extubated under traditional parameters. Methods: Patients undergoing mechanical ventilation for >48 hours were included in the study. In patients planned for extubation, sonographic evaluations of the diaphragm and lung were performed at the T-tube stage. RSBI was achieved in the pressure support (PS) ventilation stage. Predictive values of DTF, DE, and anterolateral LUS scores were compared with RSBI in extubation success. Results: Sixty-two patients were enrolled in the study. The study population consisted mostly of trauma patients (77%). A cut-off value of 64 was obtained for RSBI. The positive predictive value (PPV) was found at 97% in extubation success. Cut-off values of 27.5 for DTF, 1.3 cm for the DE, and 6.5 for LUS scores were obtained at the T-tube stage, respectively. PPVs of all sonographic parameters were found over 90%. At the first stage, weaning and extubation failures were determined as 35 and 9.6%, respectively. RSBI was found as a powerful parameter in determining extubation success (r=0.774, p≤0.001) and moderately correlated with sonographic parameters. Conclusion: Investigating the lung and diaphragm via ultrasound provides real-time information to increase extubation success. Cut-off values of 64 for RSBI, 27.5 for DTF, 1.3 cm for the DE, and 6.5 for LUS scores were obtained, respectively, and PPVs of all sonographic parameters were found over 90%. We consider that sonographic evaluations accompanied by an RSBI will increase extubation success in the weaning process.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of the present study was to evaluate the relationship between diaphragmatic thickness, during both inspiratory (DTI) and expiratory (DTE) stages; diaphragmatic excursion (DE); diaphragm thickening fraction (DTF); and adverse fetal outcomes in pregnant women with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 77 participants were included in this case-control study. The case group was diagnosed as having both symmetric and asymmetric IUGR (n = 39). The control group included gestational age (GA)-matched healthy pregnant women (n = 38). DTI, DTE, DE (reflecting the capability of diaphragmatic movement during the respiratory cycle), and DTF were analyzed. RESULTS Maternal demographic characteristics were similar between groups. DTI and DTE were significantly lower in the IUGR group compared to the control group (p < 0.001 and p < 0.001). DE was similar between the groups (p = 0.07). Additionally, in the IUGR group, DTI, DTE, and DE were significantly altered in newborns that required treatment in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). ROC curve analysis determined that the DTI cut-off was 1.36 for NICU admission with 78% sensitivity and 100% specificity. DTE cut-off was 1.195 for NICU admission with 78% sensitivity and 96% specificity. DE cut-off was 4.25 for NICU admission with 71% sensitivity and 80% specificity. CONCLUSION Measurement of DTI, DTE and DE may help clinicians to predict whether newborns with IUGR would require NICU hospitalization.

Diagnostic accuracy of diaphragm ultrasound to predict weaning outcome: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Int J Nurs Stud 2021; 117:103890. [PMID: 33588324 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijnurstu.2021.103890] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2020] [Revised: 01/19/2021] [Accepted: 01/21/2021] [Indexed: 11/19/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The accuracy of diaphragm ultrasound for predicting weaning outcome is still debated, despite the publication of numerous studies evaluating this issue. OBJECTIVE The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to assess the diagnostic accuracy of diaphragm ultrasound for predicting weaning failure in critically ill patients. DESIGN AND DATA SOURCES MEDLINE, Science direct, Cochrane Library, EMBASE and CENTRAL were searched. Two investigators independently selected studies that met the inclusion criteria, and three extracted data and performed a bias analysis using the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2 instrument. A bivariate model was used to estimate the pooled results for sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic odds ratio. Sources of heterogeneity were explored, and subgroup analyses were performed. RESULTS Twenty-eight studies were included in the systematic review, from which 16 studies (816 patients in total) were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled sensitivity, specificity and area under the summary receiver operator characteristic curve were 0.70 (95% CI 0.57-0.80), 0.84 (95% CI 0.73-0.91), and 0.82 (95% Cl 0.78-0.85) for diaphragm thickening fraction, respectively, and 0.71 (95% CI 0.61-0.79), 0.80 (95% CI 0.73-0.86), and 0.82 (95% Cl 0.79-0.86) for diaphragm excursion, respectively. There was substantial heterogeneity among the studies. Meta-regression highlighted significant effects of prevalence of extubation failure, cut-off and risk of bias in flow and timing of the study on diaphragm ultrasound accuracy. By excluding outlier and influential studies, sensitivity was lower and specificity higher for diaphragm thickening fraction. CONCLUSION The specificity of diaphragm ultrasound for predicting the risk of extubation failure in critically ill patients was moderate-to-high. However, sensitivity was low because weaning is also affected by non-diaphragm-related factors. Further research in subgroups of critically ill patients applying a homogeneous definition of weaning and uniformly conducted measure is needed to assess the accuracy of diaphragm ultrasound. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION Registered on http://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO as CRD42017058028. Tweetable abstract: Diaphragm ultrasound predicts extubation failure with high specificity. Absence of diaphragm dysfunction does not imply no risk of extubation failure.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the predictive value of lung ultrasound score (LUS) in the extubation failure from mechanical ventilation (MV) among premature infants with neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). Methods: The retrospective cohort study was conducted with a total of 314 RDS newborns who received MV support for over 24 h. After extubation from MV, infants were divided into extubation success and extubation failure groups. Extubation failure was defined as re-intubation within 48 h after extubation. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify the predictors of the extubation failure. The predictive effectiveness of the combined model and LUS in the extubation failure was assessed by receiver operating characteristic curve, area under curve (AUC), and internal validation. Results: 106 infants failed extubation from MV. The combined model for predicting the extubation failure was performed according to the predictors of gestational age, body length, birth weight, and LUS. The AUC of this combined model was 0.871 (sensitivity: 86.67%, specificity: 74.31%). The AUC of LUS was 0.858 (sensitivity: 84.00%, specificity: 80.69%), and the cutoff value was 18. There was no statistical difference in the predictive power between the combined model and LUS (Z = 0.880, P = 0.379). The internal validation result showed that the AUC of LUS was 0.855. Conclusions: LUS presented a good ability in predicting the extubation failure among RDS newborns after MV.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The relationship between muscle function in critically ill patients assessed using bedside techniques and clinical outcomes has not been systematically described. We aimed to evaluate the association between muscle weakness assessed by bedside evaluation and mortality or weaning from mechanical ventilation, and the capacity of each evaluation tool to predict outcomes. METHODS Five databases (PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Science Direct) were searched from January 2000 to December 2018. Data were extracted and random effects meta-analyses were performed. RESULTS 60 studies were analysed, including 4382 patients. Intensive care unit (ICU)-related muscle weakness was associated with an increase in overall mortality with odds ratios ranging from 1.2 (95% CI 0.60-2.40) to 4.48 (95% CI 1.49-13.42). Transdiaphragmatic twitch pressure had the highest predictive capacity for overall mortality, with a sensitivity of 0.87 (95% CI 0.76-0.93) and a specificity of 0.36 (95% CI 0.27-0.43). The area under the curve (AUC) was 0.74 (95% CI 0.70-0.78). Muscle weakness was associated with an increase in mechanical ventilation weaning failure rate with an odds ratio ranging from 2.64 (95% CI 0.72-9.64) to 19.07 (95% CI 9.35-38.9). Diaphragm thickening fraction had the highest predictive capacity for weaning failure with a sensitivity of 0.76 (95% CI 0.67-0.83) and a specificity of 0.86 (95% CI 0.78-0.92). The AUC was 0.86 (95% CI 0.83-0.89). CONCLUSION ICU-related muscle weakness detected by bedside techniques is a serious issue associated with a high risk of death or prolonged mechanical ventilation. Evaluating diaphragm function should be a clinical priority in the ICU.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Invasive mechanical ventilation (MV) is lifesaving for critically ill neonates. Limiting the duration of MV support is crucial. Lung ultrasonography is a bedside technique useful to predict weaning success in adults, but few data are available about its use in neonates. Our aim was to assess the value of lung ultrasonography to predict weaning success of the ventilated neonates. METHODS This study included 80 neonates on MV suffering from different pulmonary diseases. All patients had lung ultrasound just before extubation and 6 hours after extubation. Lung ultrasound score (LUS) was calculated for all neonate. Blood gases and chest x-ray were performed just before extubation as well. All neonates were followed up for 48 hours after extubation for extubation failure (EF). RESULTS Eighteen neonates (22.5%) experienced EF. Neonates with EF had significantly lower gestational age, lower weight but significantly prolonged duration of MV, prolonged NICU stay, and higher mortality. LUS before and after extubation was significantly higher in neonates with EF than those with weaning success. Pre-extubation LUS had a sensitivity of 83% and a specificity of 88% to predict weaning success in neonates at a cutoff value ≤4. While, post-extubation LUS had a sensitivity of 89%, and a specificity of 90% to predict weaning success in neonates at a cutoff point ≤6. CONCLUSION Lung ultrasound is a rapid, noninvasive, repetitive, and reliable tool for predicting the weaning success of ventilated neonates.

Abstract
Lung ultrasonography (LUS), an imaging modality quickly performed, interpreted, and integrated by the treating physician at the bedside, is a particularly useful tool for acutely ill patients. In the evaluation of a patient with respiratory failure in the ICU or ED, LUS is superior to chest radiograph and generally comparable with CT imaging and reduces the need for patient transport and radiation exposure. This article will provide a concise review of LUS as it pertains to respiratory failure in general and will include examples of relevant ultrasound images and video clips from critically ill patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Assess change in ultrasound measures of diaphragm mechanics over the course of a 30-minute spontaneous breathing trial (SBT). DESIGN Prospective observational study. SETTING Single intensive care unit (Logan Hospital, Queensland, Australia), patients recruited from August 2016 to April 2018. PARTICIPANTS Eligible patients were over the age of 18 years, ventilated for >24 hours, and planned to undergo an SBT. In total, 129 patients were screened. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Ultrasound measures taken at 5 and 30 minutes during SBT: diaphragmatic excursion (DE), diaphragmatic thickening fraction (DTF), and diaphragmatic contraction speed (DCS). Diaphragmatic rapid shallow breathing index (DRSBI) was calculated using DE/respiratory rate. The presence of diaphragmatic dysfunction (DD) was also determined using DTF < 30%, DE < 11 mm, or DRSBI > 1.6. RESULTS Eighteen patients had ultrasound measures during an SBT. Four were unable to have DTF visualized. There was no significant change in DTF (n = 14, 32.41 ± 32.21 vs 23.19 ± 17.42, P = .33) or DE (n = 18, 1.72 ± 0.63 vs 1.66 ± 0.59, P = .63) over time. Diaphragmatic contraction speed increased over time (n = 18, 2.21 ± 1.25 vs 2.67 ± 1.61, P = .007). Diaphragmatic rapid shallow breathing index worsened over time (n = 18, 1.65 ± 1.02 vs 2.08 ± 1.51, P = .03). There was no significant change in the presence of DD. Diaphragmatic dysfunction by DTF 8/14 versus 10/14, by DE 4/18 versus 3/18, and by DRSBI 7/18 versus 9/18. No patients failed SBT and one patient failed extubation. CONCLUSIONS Diaphragmatic mechanics may change over the course of an SBT. Further research is required to determine the clinical implications of these changes and the optimal timing of diaphragmatic ultrasound to predict weaning outcome. Diaphragmatic ultrasound may be less feasible than the published data suggest.

Abstract
Assessing heart and diaphragm function constitutes only one of the steps to consider along the weaning path. In this second part of the review, we will deal with the more systematic evaluation of the pulmonary parenchyma—often implicated in the genesis of respiratory failure. We will also consider the other possible causes of weaning failure that lie beyond the cardio-pulmonary-diaphragmatic system. Finally, we will take a moment to consider the remaining unsolved problems arising from mechanical ventilation and describe the so-called protective approach to parenchyma and diaphragm ventilation.

Abstract
Congenital diaphragmatic eventration (CDE) is always diagnosed by fluoroscopic examination. However, this technique is inappropriate for premature neonates because of risks of transport, hypothermia and ionising radiation. Herein, we describe two cases of premature neonates suspected to have CDE on radiography. We could not perform fluoroscopic examination due to their prematurity status. Therefore, we performed ultrasound examination and succeeded in diagnosing CDE without any risks. Using ultrasound examination, we could evaluate movement and thickness of the diaphragm. We consider this additional information useful for CDE diagnosis. This is the first report on CDE diagnosis using ultrasound examination.

Abstract
This narrative review focuses on thoracic ultrasonography (lung and pleural) with the aim of outlining its utility for the critical care clinician. The article summarizes the applications of thoracic ultrasonography for the evaluation and management of pneumothorax, pleural effusion, acute dyspnea, pulmonary edema, pulmonary embolism, pneumonia, interstitial processes, and the patient on mechanical ventilatory support. Mastery of lung and pleural ultrasonography allows the intensivist to rapidly diagnose and guide the management of a wide variety of disease processes that are common features of critical illness. Its ease of use, rapidity, repeatability, and reliability make thoracic ultrasonography the "go to" modality for imaging the lung and pleura in an efficient, cost effective, and safe manner, such that it can largely replace chest imaging in critical care practice. It is best used in conjunction with other components of critical care ultrasonography to yield a comprehensive evaluation of the critically ill patient at point of care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is still unclear whether lung ultrasound (LUS) can be used to evaluate the severity of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS). OBJECTIVE To evaluate the role of LUS in assessing NRDS. METHODS From January 2017 to January 2018, newborns with suspected NRDS were enrolled. The LUS score and lung consolidation areas were determined. The receiver operative curve (ROC) was used to analyze the LUS score and lung consolidation to predict NRDS severity. RESULTS Neonates with NRDS had higher LUS scores than those with non-NRDS (23.6 ± 3.6 vs. 16.2 ± 1.8, P < 0.05). Among neonates with NRDS, the LUS scores increased with NRDS severity (18.0 ± 2.7 vs. 24.0 ± 1.7 vs. 27.0 ± 1.7, all P < 0.05). There were almost no consolidation areas in non-NRDS, while 1.9 ± 1.7 consolidation areas were observed in the NRDS group (P < 0.05). The number of consolidation areas also increased with NRDS severity (0 vs. 1.5 ± 0.8 vs. 4.1 ± 1.3, all P < 0.05). The LUS score for NRDS vs. non-NRDS showed 80.2% sensitivity and 100% specificity using a cut-off of 21.5 (Area under the ROC curve, AUC = 0.938; P < 0.001). The LUS score for severe vs. mild/moderate NRDS showed 73.1% sensitivity and 95.7% specificity using a cut-off of 25.5 (AUC = 0.944; P < 0.001). The LUS score for predicting mechanical ventilation showed 81.3% sensitivity and 88.8% specificity using a cut-off of 25.5 (AUC = 0.912; P < 0.001). The AUCs of consolidation areas were similar to those of LUS score (all P > 0.05). CONCLUSION The LUS score and consolidation areas can discriminate NRDS from non-NRDS and the different grades of NRDS, and predict the application of mechanical ventilation.

Abstract
Background Diaphragmatic dysfunction remains the main cause of weaning difficulty or failure. Ultrasonographic measurement of diaphragmatic function can be used to predict the outcomes of weaning from mechanical ventilation. Our primary objective was to investigate the performance of various sonographic parameters of diaphragmatic function for predicting the success of weaning from mechanical ventilation. Methods We prospectively enrolled 68 adult patients requiring mechanical ventilation who were admitted to the intensive care unit from June 2013 to November 2013. The diaphragmatic inspiratory excursion, time to peak inspiratory amplitude of the diaphragm (TPIAdia), diaphragmatic thickness (DT), DT difference (DTD), and diaphragm thickening fraction (TFdi) were determined by bedside ultrasonography performed at the end of a spontaneous breathing trial. A receiver operating characteristic curve was used for analysis. Results In total, 62 patients were analyzed. The mean TPIAdia was significantly higher in the weaning success group (right, 1.27 ± 0.38 s; left, 1.14 ± 0.37 s) than in the weaning failure group (right, 0.97 ± 0.43 s; left, 0.85 ± 0.39 s) (P < 0.05). The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of a TPIAdia of > 0.8 s in predicting weaning success were 92, 46, 89, and 56%, respectively. The diaphragmatic inspiratory excursion, DTD, and TFdi were associated with reintubation within 48 h. The P values were 0.047, 0.021, and 0.028, and the areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve were 0.716, 0.805, and 0.784, respectively. Conclusion Among diaphragmatic parameters, TPIAdia exhibits good performance in predicting the success of weaning from mechanical ventilation. This study demonstrated a trend toward successful use of TPIAdia rather than diaphragmatic inspiratory excursion as a predictor of weaning from mechanical ventilation.
