BACKGROUND The optimum timing to wean is crucial to avoid negative outcomes for mechanically ventilated patients. The rapid shallow breathing index (RSBI), a widely used weaning index, has limitations in predicting weaning outcomes. By replacing the tidal volume of the RSBI with diaphragmatic excursion (DE) and diaphragm thickening fraction (DTF) assessed by ultrasonography, we calculated two weaning indices, the diaphragmatic excursion rapid shallow breathing index (DE-RSBI, respiratory rate [RR]/DE) and the diaphragm thickening fraction rapid shallow breathing index (DTF-RSBI, RR/DTF). The aim of this study was to evaluate the predictive values of DTF-RSBI, DE-RSBI and traditional RSBI in weaning failure. METHODS This prospective observational study included patients undergoing mechanical ventilation (MV) for > 48 h and who were readied for weaning. During a pressure support ventilation (PSV) spontaneous breathing trial (SBT), right hemidiaphragmatic excursion and DTF were measured by bedside ultrasonography as well as RSBI. Weaning failure was defined as: (1) failing the SBT and (2) SBT success but inability to maintain spontaneous breathing for more than 48 h without noninvasive or invasive ventilation. A receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve was used for analyzing the diagnostic accuracy of RSBI, DE-RSBI, and DTF-RSBI. RESULTS Of the 110 patients studied, 37 patients (33.6%) failed weaning. The area under the ROC (AUROC) curves for RSBI, DE-RSBI, and DTF-RSBI for predicting failed weaning were 0.639, 0.813, and 0.859, respectively. The AUROC curves for DE-RSBI and DTF-RSBI were significantly higher than for RSBI (P = 0.004 and P < 0.001, respectively). The best cut-off values for predicting failed weaning were RSBI > 51.2 breaths/min/L, DE-RSBI > 1.38 breaths/min/mm, and DTF-RSBI > 78.1 breaths/min/%. CONCLUSIONS In this study, two weaning indices determined by bedside ultrasonography, the DE-RSBI (RR/DE) and DTF-RSBI (RR/DTF), were shown to be more accurate than the traditional RSBI (RR/VT) in predicting weaning outcome during a PSV SBT.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D012119 Respiration The act of breathing with the LUNGS, consisting of INHALATION, or the taking into the lungs of the ambient air, and of EXHALATION, or the expelling of the modified air which contains more CARBON DIOXIDE than the air taken in (Blakiston's Gould Medical Dictionary, 4th ed.). This does not include tissue respiration ( Breathing
D012121 Respiration, Artificial Any method of artificial breathing that employs mechanical or non-mechanical means to force the air into and out of the lungs. Artificial respiration or ventilation is used in individuals who have stopped breathing or have RESPIRATORY INSUFFICIENCY to increase their intake of oxygen (O2) and excretion of carbon dioxide (CO2).

D015300 Ventilator Weaning Techniques for effecting the transition of the respiratory-failure patient from mechanical ventilation to spontaneous ventilation, while meeting the criteria that tidal volume be above a given threshold (greater than 5 ml/kg), respiratory frequency be below a given count (less than 30 breaths/min), and oxygen partial pressure be above a given threshold (PaO2 greater than 50mm Hg). Weaning studies focus on finding methods to monitor and predict the outcome of mechanical ventilator weaning as well as finding ventilatory support techniques which will facilitate successful weaning. Present methods include intermittent mandatory ventilation, intermittent positive pressure ventilation, and mandatory minute volume ventilation.
