Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the predictive value of N-terminal-pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in weaning patients from mechanical ventilation (MV).Methods Data of 42 patients supported with MV in intensive care unit (ICU) admitted to the Rui Jin Hospital from January through December in 2014 were retrospectively analyzed,and the causes for MV were recorded.According to the outcomes of weaning from MV after 48 hours,the patients were divided into two groups namely success group and failure group.Comparisons of fluid balance in 72 hours before spontaneous breathing trial (SBT),and comparisons of NT-proBNP1 levels at admission,NT-proBNP2 levels before SBT,NT-proBNP3 levels after 48 hours after SBT between two groups were carried out.And the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve for predicting weaning rate was plotted to find the optimal cut-off point of NT-proBNP2.Results In the total of 42 patients,there were 27 cases in success group and 15 cases in failure group.There were not statistically differences of NT-proBNP1 levels between success group and failure group (P =0.121).However,the NT-proBNP2 levels and NT-proBNP3 levels in failure group were significantly higher than those in success group (P =0.01,0.003).The area under curve (AUC) of the ROC curve of NT-proBNP2 levels to predict the failure of weaning was 0.862 (95％ CI:0.753-0.971).When the optimal cut-off point of NT-proBNP2 was 715.5 pg/mL,the sensitivity and specificity were 93.3％ and 74.1％,respectively.Conclusion The NT-proBNP2 levels before SBT have predictive value in weaning rate,and it can be used as one of the screening indicators for weaning.
