In patients with systolic heart failure, echocardiogram parameters measured before or shortly after starting a spontaneous breathing trial were not significantly associated with trial outcomes.
Observational (n=13)
No
Do echocardiogram parameters measured before and during a spontaneous breathing trial predict extubation success in intubated patients with systolic heart failure?
In a small pilot study of intubated patients with systolic heart failure, echocardiographic parameters measured before and during a spontaneous breathing trial did not predict extubation success or failure.
p-value: p=>0.05
Kay et al. (Sun,) conducted a observational in Systolic heart failure requiring invasive mechanical ventilation (n=13). Echocardiogram parameters vs. SBT passed vs SBT failed was evaluated on Association of echocardiogram parameters with spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) outcomes (p=>0.05). In patients with systolic heart failure, echocardiogram parameters measured before or shortly after starting a spontaneous breathing trial were not significantly associated with trial outcomes.
