Summary

Early extubation in ICU patients is crucial for reducing complications of prolonged ventilation, including morbidity and mortality. The Rapid Shallow Breathing Index (RSBI) is a widely used predictor for weaning patients from mechanical ventilation. This study aims to determine the predictive value of RSBI measurements for extubation success in mechanically ventilated ICU patients

Detailed description

The extubation decision is a combined clinical judgment based on a passing Spontaneous Breathing Trial (SBT) and a Rapid Shallow Breathing Index (RSBI) value ≤ 105 breaths/min/L.combination of criteria (SBT + RSBI threshold) This approach is recommended to improve predictive accuracy, as neither SBT nor RSBI alone is perfectly reliable.

Conditions

• Ventilated Patient in Intensive Care
• Failure of Extubation
