Objective To evaluate the predictive value of diaphragmatic rapid shallow breathing index (D-RSBI) for weaning outcome prediction.Methods This was a prospective observation study. Respiratory rate (RR) and tidal volume (Vt) were recorded at the end of spontaneous breathing trial, and both M-Mode and B-Mode ultrasonography were used to assess the right diaphragmatic displacement (DD). In parallel, outcome of the weaning attempt, length of mechanical ventilation, length of stay in intensive care unit (ICU) and mortality of ICU were recorded. According to the weaning outcome, the patients were grouped into the successful group and the failed group. The receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve was used to assess the value of rapid shallow breathing index (RSBI, RR/Vt) and D-RSBI (RR/DD) in predicting weaning failure for ICU patients with mechanical ventilation.Results A total of 110 patients recruited in this study. Of them, 73 (66.4%) patients were successfully liberated from mechanical ventilation, and 37 patients failed (33.6%) weaning procedure. The RSBI and D-RSBI of the patients in the failed group were higher than those in the success weaning group (P<0.01). The area under the ROC curves of RSBI and D-RSBI for predicting weaning failure was 0.78 (95% confidence interval 0.69 - 0.87), 0.91 (95% confidence interval 0.85 - 0.97), respectively, a cutoff of RSBI>69 breaths/(L·min) yielded sensitivity of 55% and specificity of 89%, and a cutoff of D-RSBI>1.5 breaths/(min·mm) yielded sensitivity of 87% and specificity of 80%.Conclusion D-RSBI is more accurate than traditional RSBI in predicting the weaning outcome.
