Prediction of Weaning Outcomes by Using Rate of Change of Rapid Shallow Breathing Index

Terminated

• Conditions: Rapid Shallow Breathing

• Registration Number: NCT00366197
• Lead Sponsor: Atlantic Health System

Brief Summary

This trial examines weaning outcomes using the rapid shallow breathing index rate.

Detailed Description

We hypothesize that the trend of the Rapid Shallow Breathing Index or RSBI rate, is a better predictor of weaning outcome than the RSBI as a single value during the weaning trial. patients are recruited during a weaning trial on t-piece and the RSBI during what the RSBI is measured periodically. The outcome is ventilatory status at 24 hours after the weaning trial.
