Ultrasound Assessment During Weaning from Mechanical Ventilation

Sponsor: Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires

Summary

The ECO-WEANING study aims to improve the process of safely removing patients from mechanical ventilation in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Some patients have difficulty breathing on their own after being on a ventilator, which can lead to longer hospital stays and complications. This study will use ultrasound to assess lung, heart, and diaphragm function before removing the ventilator. Combining these ultrasound results, we hope to identify better patients at high risk of needing mechanical ventilation again. The goal is to help guide care decisions and improve recovery, reducing the need for re-intubation or other interventions.
