This study aimed to investigate dynamic changes of lung aeration during a spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) in patients with diaphragm dysfunction (DD) and to predict weaning failure using electrical impedance tomography (EIT). We enrolled 40 adult patients who received mechanical ventilation over 4...
