Predictive value of rapid shallow breathing index in relation to the weaning outcome in ICU patients

Predictive value of rapid shallow breathing index in relation to the weaning outcome in ICU patients

Background: The use of indices to predict weaning outcome in type II respiratory failure can avoid premature extubation and unnecessary prolongation of ventilatory support. Rapid shallow breathing index (RSBI) is superior to other measurements for predicting weaning success. Several studies, however...
