Usefulness of radiological signs of pulmonary congestion in predicting failed spontaneous breathing trials
J. bras. pneumol; 43 (4), 2017
ABSTRACT Objective: Inspiratory fall in intrathoracic pressure during a spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) may precipitate cardiac dysfunction and acute pulmonary edema. We aimed to determine the relationship between radiological signs of pulmonary congestion prior to an SBT and weaning outcomes. Method...
