Abstract
Background: Patients are at risk for grave outcomes due to weaning failure and early reintubation. The most prevalent reason why an attempt to wean fails is cardiac dysfunction. Aim of study: The key objectives of this prospective research is: To examine the connection between heart function and weaning outcomes at the beginning of the procedure and befor extubation. Patients and Methods: The study included finally 100 subject collected in critical care unit at internal medicine department in Al-Hussein university hospital from July 2019 until July 2021.Echocardiography performed ,systolic & diastolic functions were measured at base line ventilator setting and before extubation & compared to the outcome of weaning process. Results: After analyzing data from 100 individuals (50%) with successful weaning and (50%) patients with unsuccessful weaning, we discovered a high correlation between diastolic dysfunction and the weaning failure group of patients (p0.01 for each). Conclusion: Failure to wean is linked to a problem with left ventricular relaxation.
