Use of Diaphragm Ultrasound and Evaluation of Respiratory Parameters in Determining Weaning Success in Geriatric Patients

Turkey (Türkiye)44 participantsStarted 2023-12-01

Plain-language summary

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of ultrasound-based diaphragmatic measurements in predicting weaning success in patients aged 65 and older who are receiving mechanical ventilation. Additionally, it seeks to contribute to the clinical decision-making process by examining the relationship between these measurements and conventional weaning parameters.
