Study Overview

Brief Summary

This prospective observational cohort study aims to compare the predictive accuracy of diaphragmatic rapid shallow breathing index (D-RSBI) versus traditional rapid shallow breathing index (RSBI) for predicting weaning success from invasive mechanical ventilation in COPD patients. Diaphragmatic ultrasound measurements will be performed during spontaneous breathing trials, and patients will be followed for 72 hours after extubation to assess weaning outcomes.
