Quantification of respiratory sounds by a continuous monitoring system can be used to predict complications after extubation: a pilot study
Authors' conclusion
Quantification of abnormal respiratory sounds and respiratory volume may predict respiratory failure and airway problems after extubation.
Study context
- Population
- Patients undergoing extubation monitored with a respiratory sound monitoring system
- Participants
- 57 patients
- Exposure
- Composite poor outcome vs no outcome after extubation
- Outcomen = 18
- Outcome
- Composite poor outcome:
- Reintubation
- Surgical airway
- Airway devices
- Unscheduled NIV or HFNC
- Unscheduled inhaled medications
- Bronchoscopic sputum suctioning
- Unscheduled imaging
- Follow-up
- 48 h
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
Quantitative values (QV) of abnormal respiratory sounds and inspiratory sound volume, outcome vs non-outcome
P < 0.001
Observational data: associations, not effects.
