Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
Diaphragmatic rapid shallow breathing index (D-RSBI) is a novel index which is used to assess diaphragmatic function in mechanically ventilated patients. There are various studies in the past which has evaluated the utility of diaphragmatic ultrasonography in predicting weaning of patients from mechanical ventilation. We conducted a prospective observational study regarding the utility of diaphragmatic ultrasonography in predicting weaning outcome in mechanically ventilated patients. We came to the conclusion that Diaphragmatic Rapid shallow breathing index (D-RSBI) is a better predictor than RSBI is predicting weaning outcome in mechanically ventilated patients. All the diaphragmatic parameters had acceptable predictive value in determining weaning outcome in mechanically ventilated patients.
