About

Neurocritical patients often face the need for removal of endotracheal tubes. However, despite following the extubation criteria for general critical ill patients, neurocritical patients still exhibit a higher rate of weaning failure, significantly higher than that of general critical ill patients. The extubation criteria for general critical patients emphasize the assessment of lung conditions. However, neurological critical patients often have less severe lung damage, but factors such as consciousness level and coughing ability may significantly influence extubation. Quantitative EEG serves as an objective tool to reflect consciousness level status, while bedside ultrasound can assess respiratory muscle function. Additionally, sputum volume may reflect the condition of lung condition. Therefore, we believe that combination of these three indicators can better predict the success of extubation for neurocritical patients.

Neurocritical Patients requiring weaning

Description:

The population in this study focused on neurocritical patients with endotracheal intubation. The data of quantitative EEG, beside ultrasound and sputum volume are all recorded for predicting weaning failure.
