Predictive value of the modified ROX index for extubation failure in mechanically ventilated patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background/aims

Clinicians use several measures to determine whether patients will tolerate liberation from mechanical ventilation. This study aimed to evaluate the predictive value of the modified ROX index (mROX) for extubation failure. In addition, we sought to find its role in guiding personalized post-extubation non-invasive respiratory support.

Methods

Patients who received mechanical ventilation and underwent planned extubation between May 2015 and December 2021 in medical intensive care unit were included. The primary outcome was extubation failure, defined as reintubation or death within seven days of extubation. The mROX, calculated as the ratio of partial arterial oxygen pressure to fraction of inspired oxygen (PaO2/FiO2) divided by the respiratory rate, was used
