| Abstract: |
This article discusses a pilot study that examined the impact of weaning from mechanical ventilation on right ventricular function in patients with prolonged mechanical ventilation. The study used a specific imaging technique to measure the strain on the right ventricular wall during the weaning process. The results showed that there was no significant difference in the strain values between different ventilation methods, but higher baseline strain values were associated with successful weaning. The study suggests that it is important to consider right ventricular function during the weaning process and that the imaging technique used may be helpful in assessing this function.
