NCT04584203

Brief Summary

The role of the left ventricular diastolic function (LVDD) in the weaning failure from mechanical ventilation in unclear. Specifically, is unclear whether the outcome of the weaning process could be affected by a pre-existing LVDD (before ICU admission), or by the worsening of a chronic pattern, or by a de-novo LVDD presentation.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Spontaneous breathing trial failure

    Patients admitted with LVDD

    6 hour after Spontaneous breathing trial end

  • Spontaneous breathing trial failure

    Patients worsening a pre-existing LVDD or developing a LVDD during the ICU stay.

    6 hour after Spontaneous breathing trial end

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Prevalence of LVDD in critically ill patients

    up to 3 weeks

  • To assess the degree of the LVDD in critically ill patients

    up to 3 weeks

  • To correlate LVDD with clinical outcomes

    up to 3 weeks

Interventions

All the intensivists performing the TTE in the involved centers fulfill the criteria of the American Society of Echocardiography and of the European Society of Intensive Care. Medicine to be considered as experts in critical care echocardiography. Each center performs the TTE evaluation by means of the ultrasound device available in the unit equipped with the tissue Doppler imaging program and a phased array transducer of 2.5 MHz and doppler signals is recorded along with the electrocardiogram. For the purpose of this study, the following TTE parameters are recorded from the apical 4-chamber view during each set of measurements:

The Spontaneous Breathing Trial will be performed accordingly to the clinical practice of the involved centers (a total support - including positive end-expiratory pressure plus pressure support equal or lower to 8 cmH20)

Echocardiography performed within 24h from patient's admission - not optional

Also known as: Baseline Echo_1

Echocardiography performed within 12h from patient's spontaneous breathing trial - not optional

Also known as: Echo_2

Echocardiography performed at 60 +/- 12h from patient's admission - optional

Also known as: Echo_3

Echocardiography performed 24h after patient's estubation - optional

Also known as: Echo_4
