Objective: The rapid shallow breathing index (RSBI) is relatively the best predictive parameter for initial assessment of readiness for the discontinuation of mechanical ventilation (MV) support. In this study, we aimed to determine the best pressure combinations that can predict successful RSBI closest to the values calculated in spontaneous ventilation (SV).
