About this trial
The aim of this study is to evaluate the predictive role of the Peripheral Perfusion Index (PPI) in forecasting extubation success during the weaning process in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. The study will investigate the ability of PPI to predict extubation failure by comparing it with traditional weaning criteria, including the Rapid Shallow Breathing Index (RSBI), PaO₂/FiO₂ ratio, and respiratory rate.
Eligibility criteria
