Therefore, time of extubation should be anticipated properly.\n\nRespiratory muscle dysfunction is one of the leading reasons for difficult to wean population.\n\nThere is growing evidence about the use of diaphragmatic ultrasound in evaluating both need for and weaning from mechanical ventilation. However, diaphragmatic ultrasound carry some drawbacks such as lack of echogenicity and difficult to examine left side.\n\nExtra-diaphragmatic muscles (including parasternal intercostal muscles, scalene muscles, and sternocleidomastoid) act hand-in-hand with diaphragm to complete mechanical pump actions therefore in case of diaphragmatic dysfunction accessory respiratory muscles increase their work. This could be a possible compensatory mechanism.\n\nEvidence support the use of parasternal intercostal muscles as a predictor of need and weaning from mechanical ventilation with perfect inter-observer reliability that could provide further details about respiratory capacity\u002Fload harmony.\n\nWe, therefore, decided to study ultrasound assessment of these muscles during weaning from MV in critically ill patients.","intubated ventilated patients in ICU for more than 48 h",[20],{"label":21,"type":13,"description":22,"interventionNames":13},"diaphragmatic and parasternal muscles function assessment","Patients who fulfilling the initial parameters for possibility of weaning will undergo spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) for 30 minutes.\n\nAll patients will be positioned in a semi sitting position at approximately 30 degree, and will be monitored closely during SBT period.\n\nUltrasound assessment for the parasternal intercostal and diaphragmatic muscle functions will be done at the end of SBTs for all patients.\n\nUltrasound assessment of diaphragm:\n\nDiaphragmatic excursion; The diaphragmatic movement will be measured using a 3.5-MHz ultrasound probe.
