Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Primary outcome is successful weaning defined as no ventilator support for 48 hours post-extubation. Secondary outcomes include diaphragmatic ultrasound parameters (excursion and thickening fraction measured pre-extubation and immediately post-extubation), total ventilation duration, ICU stay, re-intubation incidence, and mortality as recorded.  no ventilator support for 48 hours post-extubation followed up  
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
The secondary outcomes of the study explored the association between diaphragmatic weaning parameters & the Rapid Shallow Breathing Index (RSBI). A significant correlation was found between diaphragmatic excursion & RSBI, while no significant correlation was observed between diaphragmatic thickness fraction or the time to peak inspiratory amplitude of the diaphragm & RSBI.  weaning success at 48 hours post extubation

Brief Summary  

This prospective observational study demonstrates that ultrasonographic assessment of diaphragmatic parameters, particularly diaphragmatic excursion combined with the rapid shallow breathing index, serves as a reliable predictor of weaning success in ICU patients. These metrics offer superior predictive value compared to other diaphragmatic measures, such as diaphragmatic thickness fraction and time to peak inspiratory amplitude.
