RATIONALE: T-piece trials and spontaneous breathing trials through the tracheostomy tube are often used as weaning techniques. They are usually performed with the cuff inflated, which may increase the inspiratory load and/or influence the tidal volume generated by the patient. We assessed diaphragmatic effort during T-piece trials with or without cuff inflation. SETTINGS: Respiratory intensive care unit METHODS: We measured breathing pattern, transdiaphragmatic pressure (Pdi), the pressure-time product of the diaphragm, per minute (PTPdi/min) and per breath (PTPdi/b), and lung mechanics (lung compliance and resistance) in 13 tracheotomized patients ready for a weaning trial. V(T) was recorded with respiratory inductive plethysmography (RIP-V(T)) or pneumotachography PT-V(T)). Patients completed two T-piece trials of 30[Symbol: see text]min each with or without the cuff inflated. RESULTS: RIP-V(T) and PT-V(T) values were similar with the cuff inflated, but PT-V(T) significantly underestimated RIP-V(T) when the cuff was deflated, and therefore the RIP-V(T) was chosen as the reference method. The RIP-V(T) was significantly greater and the Pdi and PTPdi/min significantly lower when the cuff was deflated than when it was inflated. The efficiency of the diaphragm, calculated by the ratio of PTPdi/b over RIP-V(T), was also improved, while no changes were observed in lung mechanics. CONCLUSIONS: Diaphragmatic effort is significantly lower during a T-piece trial with a deflated cuff than when the cuff is inflated, while RIP-V(T) is higher, so that the diaphragm's efficiency in generating tidal volume is also improved.

Abstract

RATIONALE: T-piece trials and spontaneous breathing trials through the tracheostomy tube are often used as weaning techniques. They are usually performed with the cuff inflated, which may increase the inspiratory load and/or influence the tidal volume generated by the patient. We assessed diaphragmatic effort during T-piece trials with or without cuff inflation. SETTINGS: Respiratory intensive care unit METHODS: We measured breathing pattern, transdiaphragmatic pressure (Pdi), the pressure-time product of the diaphragm, per minute (PTPdi/min) and per breath (PTPdi/b), and lung mechanics (lung compliance and resistance) in 13 tracheotomized patients ready for a weaning trial. V(T) was recorded with respiratory inductive plethysmography (RIP-V(T)) or pneumotachography PT-V(T)). Patients completed two T-piece trials of 30[Symbol: see text]min each with or without the cuff inflated. RESULTS: RIP-V(T) and PT-V(T) values were similar with the cuff inflated, but PT-V(T) significantly underestimated RIP-V(T) when the cuff was deflated, and therefore the RIP-V(T) was chosen as the reference method. The RIP-V(T) was significantly greater and the Pdi and PTPdi/min significantly lower when the cuff was deflated than when it was inflated. The efficiency of the diaphragm, calculated by the ratio of PTPdi/b over RIP-V(T), was also improved, while no changes were observed in lung mechanics. CONCLUSIONS: Diaphragmatic effort is significantly lower during a T-piece trial with a deflated cuff than when the cuff is inflated, while RIP-V(T) is higher, so that the diaphragm's efficiency in generating tidal volume is also improved.
