Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the excursion of the diaphragm and analyze the value in predicting weaning from mechanical ventilation in intensive care unit patients.Methods The patients with mechanical ventilation (>48 hours) in ICU at Hebei Forth Medical University Hospital from June 2014 to December were classified into a success group or a failure group according to the weaning outcome.T-piece spontaneous breathing (SBT),airway occlusion pressure at 0.1 sec (P0.1) and maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP),rapid shallow breathing index (RSBI) and P0.1/MIP were measured or calculated.During the period of the 1 st hour SBT,the excursion of diaphragm was measured with ultrasonography.The predictive value of each parameter to weaning was evaluated with ROC curve.Results A total of 98 patients were enrolled in this study,including 74 successfully weaning and 24 failed.There were significant differences between two groups (success group and failure group) in P0.1 [(2.00 ± 2.00) cmH2O (1 cmH2O =0.098 kPa) vs (3.00 ±2.75)cmH2O,P <0.05],RSBI (39.14 ± 16.81 vs 52.00 ± 19.18,P <0.05),left diaphragmatic excursion [(1.12 ± 0.97) cm vs (0.69 ± 1.00) cm,P < 0.001],right diaphragmatic excursion(1.87 ± 0.75) cm vs (1.17 ± 0.76) cm,P < 0.001] and mean value of left and right diaphragmatic excursion [(1.57 ± 0.52) cm vs (0.83 ± 0.53) cm,and P < 0.001].The ventilation time [2.00 (2.00-4.00) d vs 4.00 (2.00-5.00) d],ICU hospital lengths of stay [4.50 (3.00-7.25) d vs 8.50 (6.25-15.25) d] and total hospital lengths of stay [20.00 (15.00-25.25) d vs 25.00 (20.25-37.25)d] were also statistically significant in success group and failure group respectively (all P < 0.05).The cutoff value of diaphragmatic excursion for predicting successful extubation was determined to be 1.14 cm by ROC curve analysis.The sensitivity of diaphragmatic excursion to predict successful weaning was 89.2% and the specificity was 75.0%,the AUCROC was 0.849.Conclusion As an early predictor of diaphragmatic dysfunction,diaphragmatic excursion is probably superior to the traditional parameters in predicting weaning from ventilator in ICU patients.
