Abstract: Acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common cause of intensive care unit (ICU) admission due to respiratory failure which often necessitates mechanical ventilation (MV). This study evaluated the rapid shallow breathing index (RSBI) as a predicator of ventilatory support necessity in patients admitted with acute ex... Show More
