The purpose of our study is to assess lung aeration and diaphragmatic indices by transthoracic ultrasonography in patients ready to be weaned from mechanical ventilation as predictors of weaning success
Assessment of lung aeration and diaphragmatic indices by transthoracic ultrasonography in patients ready to be weaned from mechanical ventilation as predictors of weaning success in critically ill patients .

1. The lung ultrasound score (LUS) will be calculated according to the observed worst ultrasound pattern and Finally, the LUSs of all the parts will added to obtain the total LUS for each patient (maximum36 points) 2. The diaphragmatic ultrasound will performed for assessment of diaphragmatic thickness and motion.
Assessment of lung aeration by lung ultrasound score using MEDESION SONOACE R3 portable ultrasound apparatus in patients ready to be weaned from mechanical ventilation (MV) as a predictor of weaning success.
The lung ultrasound score (LUS) will be calculated according to the observed worst ultrasound pattern using the convex probe (MEDESION SONOACE R3 portable ultrasound, Korea 2010). (normal aeration, LUS = 0);( moderate loss of lung aeration (multiple, well-defined B lines), LUS = 1);( severe loss of lung aeration (multiple coalescent B lines), LUS = 2); (lung consolidation, LUS = 3).Finally, the LUSs of all the parts will added to obtain the total LUS for each patient (maximum36 points).
Time frame: baseline
Assessment of diaphragmatic thickness by diaphragmatic ultrasonography M-mode in patients ready to be weaned from MV as a predictor of weaning success.
The diaphragmatic ultrasound will performed for assessment of diaphragmatic thickness by M-Mode Using the high frequency linear probe of 7.5 MHz.This will done in serial manner beginning 24 hours after RICU admission,then during spontaneous breathing trial till the patient is liberated from mechanical ventilation. DT difference (DTD) will be calculated by subtracting The Diaphragm thickening fraction (DTF) will calculated as: DTD/(DT at end-expiration) × 100%
Time frame: baseline
Assessment of diaphragmatic motion by diaphragmatic ultrasonography M-mode in patients ready to be weaned from MV as a predictor of weaning success.
The diaphragmatic ultrasound will performed for assessment of diaphragmatic motion by M-mode using the curvilinear low frequency probe (5 MHz).This will done in serial manner beginning 24 hours after RICU admission,then during spontaneous breathing trial till the patient is liberated from mechanical ventilation. Diaphragmatic excursion (DE) will identified and measured. DE amplitude will measured on the vertical axis by tracing from the baseline to the point of maximum height of inspiration on the graph.

Compare between sonographic lung aeration assessment, diaphragmatic indices and rapid shallow breathing index(RSBI) as predictors for results of weaning from mechanical ventilation(MV)
Compare between sonographic lung aeration assessment, diaphragmatic indices and RSBI as predictors for results of weaning from MV and showing the predictive value for which parameter to predict weaning sucess alone or combining all three parameters together.
