Thoracic Fluid Content in Prediction of Failure of Weaning From Mechanical Ventilation

Egypt64 participantsStarted 2017-04-04

Plain-language summary

This study aims to test the accuracy of the total thoracic fluid content (TFC) measured by cardiometry can predict weaning failure. Area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) will be determined, sensitivity, specificity, and best cutoff value will be calculated for TFC in prediction of weaning failure.
