Clinical TrialDynamic inhomogeneity of aeration along the vertical axis of the lung may predict weaning failure regardless of diaphragm dysfunction.
This study aimed to investigate dynamic changes of lung aeration during a spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) in patients with diaphragm dysfunction (DD) and to predict weaning failure using electrical impedance tomography (EIT). ⋯ Dynamic inhomogeneity of aeration along the vertical axis of the lung as assessed using TSA predicts SBT failure regardless of DD.
