Abstract
Background
The transition from Invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) to spontaneous breathing, known as the weaning-process (WP), requires careful evaluation. In obese patients, WP may be compromised due to altered respiratory mechanics, increasing the risk of weaning failure.
Objective
to evaluate the predictive capacity of objective cough measurement (OCM), spontaneous breathing trial (SBT), and diaphragmatic contraction velocity (DCV) in predicting WP success in obese patients.
Methods
A prospective, multicenter cohort study was conducted in critically ill patients requiring IMV who were undergoing the extubation process. The predictive ability of SBT, DCV, and OCM for determining SBT and extubation success was evaluated. The analysis was stratified by body mass index (BMI <30 kg/m² vs. ≥30 kg/m²) to assess predictive performance across different weight categories.
Results
A total of 367 patients were included, of whom 70 % (279/367) had a BMI <30 kg/m². OCM and DCV showed an AUC-ROC of 0.49 (95 % CI: 0.39–0.60) and 0.50 (95 % CI: 0.40–0.60) in the BMI <30 kg/m² and ≥30 kg/m² groups for predicting success in the SBT, respectively (p = 0.9510). The SBT showed an AUC-ROC of 0.83 (95 % CI: 0.70–0.98) and 0.87 (95 % CI: 0.82–0.92) in the BMI <30 kg/m² and ≥30 kg/m² groups for predicting successful extubation, respectively (p = 0.252). The SBT and DCV showed an AUC-ROC of 0.86 (95 % CI: 0.80–0.92) and 0.74 (95 % CI: 0.61–0.87) in the BMI <30 kg/m² and ≥30 kg/m² groups for predicting successful extubation, respectively (p = 0.113). The SBT and OCM showed an AUC-ROC of 0.90 (95 % CI: 0.86–0.94) and 0.85 (95 % CI: 0.77–0.93) in the BMI <30 kg/m² and ≥30 kg/m² groups for predicting successful extubation, respectively (p = 0.243).
Conclusion
The SBT demonstrated the highest predictive accuracy for successful extubation across BMI groups, while OCM and DCV had limited predictive value. No significant differences were observed between BMI categories.
期刊介绍:
Heart & Lung: The Journal of Cardiopulmonary and Acute Care, the official publication of The American Association of Heart Failure Nurses, presents original, peer-reviewed articles on techniques, advances, investigations, and observations related to the care of patients with acute and critical illness and patients with chronic cardiac or pulmonary disorders.
The Journal''s acute care articles focus on the care of hospitalized patients, including those in the critical and acute care settings. Because most patients who are hospitalized in acute and critical care settings have chronic conditions, we are also interested in the chronically critically ill, the care of patients with chronic cardiopulmonary disorders, their rehabilitation, and disease prevention. The Journal''s heart failure articles focus on all aspects of the care of patients with this condition. Manuscripts that are relevant to populations across the human lifespan are welcome.
