Rapid Shallow Breathing Index as a Predictor of Extubation Outcomes in Pediatric Patients Underwent Cardiac Surgeries at King Faisal Cardiac Center.

Introduction Weaning patients of ventilation is an important step in the intensive care unit; therefore, assessing the perfect timing to do such critical action is of equal significance to prevent complications. Rapid shallow breathing index (RSBI) has been used as a prediction tool for weaning adult patients, but for pediatric patients it is still an area of unclarity. Accordingly, the aim of this study is to evaluate the RSBI as a predictor of extubation outcome in pediatric patients underwent cardiac surgery at King Faisal Cardiac Center from 2016 until 2019.
