Sonographic assessment of post-intubation laryngeal obstruction as predictor of weaning outcome by Mohamed Taher Anwar, Amro Ahmed Esmat, Mohamed Elsaid Ali Hassan Elfeqy

“…Results A statistically insignificant variance was observed among COPD, ILD, overlap (OSA-COPD), pneumonia, aspiration pneumonia, and PE regarding laryngeal air column width difference (LACWD), while a statistically significant variance was observed among COPD, ILD, overlap (OSA-COPD), pneumonia, aspiration pneumonia, and PE regarding CLV; there was no correlation among cuff leak volume and LACWD, and there were 40 patients (83.3%) who had no post-intubation upper air way obstruction and 8 patients (16.7%) had post-intubation upper airway obstruction: 4 of them (8.3%) had success weaning, and 4 (8.3%) had failed weaning; and at cutoff value 140 ml, cuff leak volume had sensitivity of 100% and specificity of 97.5% with significance for prediction of stridor, and at cutoff value 1.15 mm, LACWD had sensitivity of 87.5% and specificity of 67.5% with significance for prediction of stridor. …”
