Abstrakt: Background and purpose Patients with spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage have significant morbidity and mortality. One aspect of their care is the need for mechanical ventilation. Extubating a patient safely and efficiently is important in advancing their care; however, traditional extubation criteria using the rapid shallow breathing index and negative inspiratory force do not predict success in these patients as well as they do in other intubated patients. This study aimed to evaluate these criteria in patients with spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage to improve the extubation success rate. Methods We conducted a retrospective chart review of patients with spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage (sICH) who underwent spontaneous breathing trials from 2018 to 2020. Twenty-nine patients met the inclusion criteria, and of these 29, 20 had a trial of extubation. Rapid shallow breathing index (RSBI), negative inspiratory force (NIF), and cuff leak were recorded to analyze breathing parameters at the time of extubation. Patients who required reintubation were noted. Results All trials of extubation required a cuff leak. Using RSBI, patients with values <105 or <85, as the only other extubation criteria, were associated with a 70.6% and 71.4% success rate, respectively. With RSBI <105 and NIF <-25 cm water, the success rate was 88.9%. Any patient with a cuff leak that had a NIF <-30 had a success rate of 100%, regardless of RSBI. Conclusion The RSBI was not a reliable isolated measure to predict 100% extubation success. Using a NIF <-30 predicts a 100% extubation success rate if a cuff leak is present. This demonstrates that the NIF may be a more useful metric in sICH patients, as it accounts for patient participation and innate ability to draw a breath spontaneously. Future studies are warranted to evaluate further and optimize the extubation criteria in these patients.
