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

Conditions studied: Ventilated Patient in Intensive Care, Failure of Extubation
In brief
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
