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

Rapid Shallow Index as Successfully Predictor of Outcome of Extubating


Sponsor

Ain Shams University

Enrollment

70 participants

Start Date

Mar 1, 2026

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

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
