Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Ultrasound examination of diaphragm, lung and cardiac function   Patients recruited for the study based on inclusion criteria will be evaluated with the Weaning Clinical Criteria. Those patients deemed ready for weaning will be subjected to Spontaneous Breathing Trial which is spontaneous breathing through a T-tube circuit with oxygen flow at 5 L/min for 60 min. Patients who tolerate 60 mins of SBT will be continued on spontaneous breathing and will be observed for 48 hours thereafter for requirement of ventilatory support. They will be considered to have been successfully weaned if they do not require ventilatory support. Others who do not tolerate SBT would be connected back to ventilator and considered to have failed weaning. USG examination will be performed at 5 min and 30 min of start of SBT Parameters to be studied: a) Diaphragmatic thickening fraction, b) Diaphragmatic excursion, c) Lung ultrasound score, d) Left ventricular diastolic function  
 
Inclusion Criteria  
Age From  18.00 Year(s)
Age To  65.00 Year(s)
Gender  Both 
Details  All patients, 18 to 65 years of age who have undergone neurosurgical procedure, and are on mechanical ventilation for more than 24 hours post operatively and are ready for weaning (based on Weaning Clinical Criteria) will be included in this study. 
 
ExclusionCriteria 
Details  1) preoperatively patients who are on respiratory support for more than 24 hours (either intermittent or continuous oxygen therapy/ invasive or non-invasive mechanical ventilation)
2) patients with heart diseases like severe valvular heart diseases, severe left ventricular dysfunction ( EF<30%), heart failure, etc
3) patients who have undergone thoracic surgeries like pneumonectomy, pleurodesis, and thoracic trauma
4) pregnancy

Brief Summary  
This study aims to analyse the predictability of ultrasound-based parameters of lung, diaphragm and heart for the weaning outcome in postoperative mechanically ventilated neurosurgical patients who are on mechanical ventilation for >24 hr. After assessing the eligibility for initiating weaning process by Weaning Clinical Criteria, the patients will be subjected to Spontaneous Breathing Trial (SBT) which is spontaneous breathing through a T-tube circuit with oxygen flow at 5 L/min for 60 min. Patients who tolerate 60 mins of SBT will be continued on spontaneous breathing and will be observed for 48 hours thereafter for requirement of ventilatory support. They will be considered to have been successfully weaned if they do not require ventilatory support. Others who do not tolerate SBT would be connected back to ventilator and considered to have failed weaning. Ultrasound examination will be performed at 5 min and 30 min of start of SBT to assess  a) Diaphragmatic thickening fraction, b) Diaphragmatic excursion, c) Lung ultrasound score, d) Left ventricular diastolic function. Weaning Outcome (Success/ Failure) will be decided on the basis of result of SBT.
