Summary
Critically ill patients frequently develop respiratory muscle dysfunction that may contribute to difficult and prolonged weaning from mechanical ventilation. that is besides complications such as barotrauma, ventilator-acquired pneumonia, accumulation of secretions, and lung atelectasis. The ultrasound estimation of parasternal intercostal muscle and diaphragmatic functions is a method to evaluate if there is a good chance of weaning outcomes.
