Regional Diaphragmatic Synchrony Index for Predicting Weaning Outcomes During Pressure Support Ventilation Spontaneous Breathing Trials

Brief Summary

The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the predictive value of the inspiratory regional diaphragmatic synchrony index (RDSI-insp) during PSV-SBT for first-attempt weaning failure. Secondary objectives include: (1) assessing the correlation between RDSI-insp and conventional respiratory mechanics and diaphragmatic ultrasound parameters such as RSBI, MIP/NIF, VC, CPF, P0.1, DE, and DTF; (2) comparing differences in RDSI and DPSI between successful and failed weaning groups during inspiration, end-inspiration, and expiration; (3) exploring the association of anterior diaphragmatic dyssynchrony index, posterior/crural dyssynchrony index, and regional time-to-peak dispersion with weaning outcomes; and (4) evaluating the feasibility, analyzable image rate, and repeatability of diaphragmatic speckle-tracking and RDSI calculation in patients undergoing PSV-SBT.
