Objectives To compare the rapid shallow breathing index (RSBI) under different ventilatory
support settings prior to extubation trials. Design Prospective study. Setting Cardiac surgery
unit at a university hospital. Patients A total of 33 coronary artery bypass grafting patients
ready for extubation. Interventions Enrolled patients received a continuous positive airway
pressure (CPAP) trial of 5 cm H 2 O and fraction of inspired oxygen (F io 2) of 40%(condition
1), a CPAP trial of 5 cmH 2 O and F io 2 of 21%(condition 2), and a 1-min spontaneously …
