End-Expiratory Lung Volumes During Spontaneous Breathing Trials in Tracheostomized Subjects on Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation.
BACKGROUND: The role of end-expiratory lung volume (EELV) during a spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) in patients who were tracheostomized and on prolonged mechanical ventilation is unclear. This study aimed to assess EELV during a 60-min SBT and its correlation with weaning success. METHODS: Enrolle...
