Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this prospective observational study is to evaluate whether left ventricular function parameters assessed via transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) can predict weaning success from mechanical ventilation in adult intensive care unit (ICU) patients. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Can the Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Velocity Time Integral (LVOT VTI) predict successful extubation?

What is the prognostic value of other echocardiographic measures such as Mitral Annular Plane Systolic Excursion (MAPSE), E/e' ratio, E/A ratio, Mitral Deceleration Time (MDT), and Myocardial Performance Index (Tei index) in forecasting weaning outcomes?

Participants will:

Be adults receiving mechanical ventilation and scheduled for weaning

Undergo transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) within 2 hours after meeting weaning criteria

Have the following parameters measured: LVOT VTI, MAPSE, E/e', E/A, MDT, and Tei index

Be monitored for 24 hours post-extubation to determine if they remain off ventilatory support, including reintubation, non-invasive ventilation, or high-flow oxygen therapy

This study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how systolic, diastolic, and global cardiac functions influence extubation success, potentially improving ICU decision-making and reducing complications, length of stay, and healthcare costs.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This prospective, single-center observational study aims to assess the predictive value of left ventricular function parameters obtained via transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) in determining weaning success in mechanically ventilated adult ICU patients.

Following fulfillment of weaning criteria, patients will undergo TTE evaluation within 2 hours. The echocardiographic assessment will include the measurement of:

Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Velocity Time Integral (LVOT VTI)

Mitral Annular Plane Systolic Excursion (MAPSE)

E/e' ratio

E/A ratio

Mitral Deceleration Time (MDT)

Myocardial Performance Index (Tei index)

These measurements aim to reflect systolic, diastolic, and global left ventricular functions. After the echocardiographic assessment, patients will be followed for 24 hours to determine weaning success, defined as the ability to maintain spontaneous breathing without reintubation, non-invasive ventilation, or high-flow oxygen support.

By integrating non-invasive, bedside cardiac function assessments into the extubation decision-making process, the study seeks to contribute to more physiologically guided weaning strategies. The results may help reduce weaning-related complications and optimize resource use in critical care settings

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Weaning Candidates

This group includes adult ICU patients who are receiving mechanical ventilation and have met standardized weaning criteria. All patients in this cohort will undergo transthoracic echocardiographic (TTE) assessment before extubation, without any experimental intervention applied.

Echocardiographic Assessment

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

All participants will receive a standardized transthoracic echocardiographic (TTE) examination within 2 hours after meeting weaning criteria. The following cardiac function parameters will be recorded:

LVOT Velocity Time Integral (VTI)

Mitral Annular Plane Systolic Excursion (MAPSE)

E/e' ratio

E/A ratio

Mitral Deceleration Time (MDT)

Myocardial Performance Index (Tei index)

The echocardiographic data will be used to investigate the association between left ventricular function and weaning success.
