Abstract

BACKGROUND: Elevation of the left ventricular (LV) filling pressure can occur during weaning of mechanical ventilation due to increase in LV preload and/or changes in LV compliance and LV afterload.

AIM: The aim of the study was to evaluate respiratory changes in internal jugular vein and inferior vena cava during weaning from mechanical ventilation.

METHODS: Prospective observational study conducted on 80 consecutive patients. Patients were divided randomly into two groups who met the readiness criteria to start spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) either on pressure support ventilation (PS/CPAP) for 30 min or T-piece for 120 min. Weaning failure was defined as a failed SBT or reintubation within 48 h. Echocardiographic evaluation was done on assisted controlled ventilation and at the end of SBT for preload assessment.

RESULTS: Mitral Septal E/E’ Cutoff value ≥6.1 with sensitivity 81% and specificity 84.2%, and AUC 0.73 for predicting weaning failure. IVC distensibility index on CPAP cutoff value ≥66.5% with sensitivity 100% and specificity 68.4%, and AUC 0.85. In Group II, Mitral Septal E/E’ Cut off value ≥5.8 with sensitivity 83% and specificity 90.9%, AUC 0.83, IVC collapsibility index Cut off value ≥45.5% with sensitivity 72% and specificity 86%, AUC 0.73.

CONCLUSION: Mitral Septal E/E’ could predict weaning-induced diastolic dysfunction. IVC plays an important role in predicting weaning failure.
