Description
Summary:Objective Clinicians cannot precisely determine the time for withdrawal of ventilation. We aimed to evaluate the performance of driving pressure (DP)×respiratory rate (RR) to predict the outcome of weaning. Methods Plateau pressure (Pplat) and total positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEPtot) were measured during mechanical ventilation with brief deep sedation and on volume-controlled mechanical ventilation with a tidal volume of 6 mL/kg and a PEEP of 0 cmH2O. Pplat and PEEPtot were measured by patients holding their breath for 2 s after inhalation and exhalation, respectively. DP was determined as Pplat minus PEEPtot. The rapid shallow breathing index was measured from the ventilator. The highest RR was recorded within 3 minutes during a spontaneous breathing trial. Patients who tolerated a spontaneous breathing trial for 1 hour were extubated. Results Among the 105 patients studied, 44 failed weaning. During ventilation withdrawal, DP×RR was 136.7±35.2 cmH2O breaths/minute in the success group and 230.2±52.2 cmH2O breaths/minute in the failure group. A DP×RR index >170.8 cmH2O breaths/minute had a sensitivity of 93.2% and specificity of 88.5% to predict failure of weaning. Conclusions Measurement of DP×RR during withdrawal of ventilation may help predict the weaning outcome. A high DP×RR increases the likelihood of weaning failure.
