Brief Summary

There are some criteria such as the most frequently used parameters to predict the failure of non-invasive mechanical ventilation, the APACHE 2 score, the presence of pneumonia and ARDS in the etiology, and no improvement in one hour of treatment. However, APECHE 2 score, which is the broadest of these criteria and includes others, is a complex scoring in which a large number of parameters are evaluated together, dependent on laboratory results and still leaves the final decision to the physician with a complete evaluation. In addition, the APACHE 2 score is a more commonly used method for intensive care patients rather than emergency patients who need a quick decision. Therefore, there is a need for a fast and practical method that can predict NIMV failure and determine early intubation decision in the management of patients admitted to the emergency department with acute dyspnea. Rapid Shallow Breathing Index (RSBI) is a parameter calculated by dividing the respiratory rate by the tidal volume and is used to predict whether patients who are intubated in intensive care unit can be extubated successfully. The aim of this study is to evaluate the success of RSBI in predicting intubation and mortality in patients presented to the emergency department with acute respiratory failure and had NIMV indication.

Conditions

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Rapid Shallow Breathing Index (RSBI)

    The RSBI is the ratio of respiratory frequency to tidal volume (f/VT). RSBI values measured at admission and 30 minutes are the primary outcome measures of the study.

    0-30 minute.

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Mean arterial pressure

    0-30 minute

  • Respiratory rate

    0-30 minute

  • Heart rate

    0-30 minute

  • Oxygen saturation

    0-30 minute

Study Arms (2)

Intubation Group/ Non-Intubation Group

Intubation group: Patients who failed noninvasive mechanical ventilation and who underwent endotracheal intubation Non-Intubation Group: Patients whose noninvasive mechanical ventilation is successful and endotracheal intubation is not applied

Diagnostic Test: Rapid Shallow Breathing Index

Dying patients / Surviving patients

Dying patients :Patients with in-hospital mortality presenting with acute respiratory failure Surviving patients: Patients presenting and surviving due to acute respiratory failure

Diagnostic Test: Rapid Shallow Breathing Index

Interventions

The RSBI is defined as the ratio of respiratory frequency to tidal volume.

Dying patients / Surviving patientsIntubation Group/ Non-Intubation Group
