Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Study Protocol This prospective observational study will be conducted in the Anesthesia Intensive Care Unit of Istanbul Gaziosmanpaşa Training and Research Hospital (SUAM) between March 2025 and June 2025 following approval from the Ethics Committee. Written informed consent will be obtained from the patients' legal representatives prior to enrollment.

Readiness for weaning from mechanical ventilation will be evaluated by the same attending intensivist throughout the study, in accordance with the local protocol. Criteria for readiness include resolution of the underlying cause of mechanical ventilation, ability to tolerate temporary discontinuation of mechanical ventilation, absence of frequent endotracheal suctioning needs, adequate oxygenation (PaO₂ \> 60 mmHg with FiO₂ ≤ 0.5 and PEEP ≤ 8 cmH₂O), acceptable pH and PaCO₂ based on the patient's baseline respiratory condition, and stable cardiovascular status. In patients at high risk for upper airway edema, a cuff leak test will be performed by the intensivist.

The spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) will be performed using the Pressure Support (PS) mode with 5 cmH₂O PS and 5 cmH₂O PEEP. After 30 minutes, weaning parameters will be reassessed and the intensivist will make the extubation decision.

SBT failure will be defined by the presence of one or more of the following criteria: altered mental status, respiratory rate \> 35 breaths/min, RSBI \> 105, signs of increased respiratory effort (use of accessory muscles, thoracoabdominal asynchrony, intercostal retractions), SpO₂ \< 90% or PaO₂ \< 60 mmHg on FiO₂ of 0.4, or hemodynamic instability (heart rate \> 140 bpm, systolic blood pressure \> 180 mmHg or \< 90 mmHg, or a change in either \> 20% from baseline).

Patients with successful SBT will be extubated and monitored for 48 hours for the need for reintubation. Supplemental oxygen will be provided via a simple oxygen mask (4-6 L/min) to maintain SpO₂ \> 92%.

The primary outcome is the ability of the Peripheral Perfusion Index (PPI) measured 1 hour after extubation to predict extubation failure within 48 hours.

The secondary outcomes include the predictive ability of PPI measured at the beginning of SBT, at 15 minutes, at the end of SBT, and 2 hours after extubation in identifying patients who will require reintubation within 48 hours.
