A Cardiac Ultrasound Evaluation of Two Types of Weaning Trials of Mechanical Ventilation for a First Weaning Trial

Comparing the hemodynamic and cardiac effects of two types of weaning trials of mechanical ventilation in ICU patients of two French ICU.

Prospective clinical study in ICU with ventilated patients eligible to weaning trials of mechanical ventilation (ZEEP and tubing-spontaneous ventilation) comparing hemodynamic and cardiac effects evaluated by trans-thoracic echocardiography.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Adult patients ventilated requiring first weaning trial of mechanical ventilation

  • Stable respiratory and hemodynamic conditions
  • Consent of patients or family
  • Arterial line
  • Ventilated patients

Exclusion Criteria:
