New study aims to predict safe breathing tube removal after surgery

This study will observe 150 adults having planned surgery to see if using three monitoring tools together—rapid shallow breathing index, train-of-four ratio, and bispectral index—can better predict when it's safe to remove the breathing tube after general anesthesia. The decision to remove the tube will be made by the anesthesiologist as usual, and patients will be watched for 30 minutes afterward for any breathing problems. The goal is to improve safety and reduce complications after surgery.
