    BackgroundIn 2013, a new predictor of successful mechanical ventilation liberation named timed inspiratory effort (TIE) index was devised with the normalization of the maximum inspiratory pressure (obtained within 60 s of unidirectional airway occlusion) with the time at which the value was reached. The aim of this study was to verify whether the presence of a sequence of a certain number of inspiratory effort values between 30-60 s > 1.0 cm H2O/s could predict weaning success in a performance comparable to the TIE index.MethodsThis was a retrospective observational study using 4 databases of previous studies on the TIE index. All patients receiving mechanical ventilation for ≤ 24 h were eligible. Liberation from mechanical ventilation-extubation decisions was made based on performance with spontaneous breathing trials. P < .05 was considered significant. The performance of the TIE index was evaluated by calculating the area under the receiver operating characteristics (AUROC) curve.ResultsFrom 349 eligible patients, 165 subjects were selected for analysis. The AUROC for the TIE index in the studied sample was 0.92 (95% CI 0.87-0.97, P < .001). A sequence of ≤ 4 inspiratory efforts > 1.0 cm H2O/s was found in 51.5% of the subjects, with successful ventilatory liberation occurring in 95.3%. The highest specificity values belonged to the sequence of ≤ 4 and ≤ 5 inspiratory efforts > 1.0 cm H2O/s; the highest positive predictive value and positive likelihood ratio belonged to the sequence of ≤ 4 inspiratory efforts > 1.0 cm H2O/s. The mean time that could have been spared if the procedure were interrupted after the first sequence of 4 inspiratory efforts > 1.0 cm H2O/s was 23 ± 3 s.ConclusionsThe presence of a sequence of ≤ 4 inspiratory efforts > 1.0 cm H2O/s during the TIE index measurement was a reliable predictor of weaning success, which could allow timely interruption of the procedure and entail a substantial reduction in airway occlusion time.Copyright © 2024 by Daedalus Enterprises.
