Score | Components | Value | Advantages | Disadvantages |
A: RSBI | Respiratory rate; Vt; RSBI = RR/Vt | < 105 – weaning success; > 105 – weaning failure | Simple; easy to calculate | Affected by multiple factors – fever, infection, anxiety, restrictive disorders, weaning technique and suctioning; not the best predictor for COPD/neuro-medical and neurosurgical pt. |
B: CROP index | Compliance (thoracic); respiratory rate; oxygenation (Arterial); pressure (P1 Max) | > 13 mL/breath/min – successful weaning | Incorporates respiratory and ventilatory parameters | Complex calculations; not tested in neuro-medical/neurosurgical pt. |
C: ExPres score | RSBI; dynamic lung compliance; days of IMV; GCS; muscle strength; haematocrit; creatinine; neurological comorbidity | Score; > 59 – extubate pt.; 45-58 with no risk factors – extubate pt.; 45-58 with risk factors – extubate to NIV; < 44 – extubation failure | More robust score; simple tool; shown to reduce extubation failure rates | Needs large scale studies for validation |
D: HACOR | Heart rate; acidosis; consciousness; oxygenation; respiratory rate | Score > 5 – weaning failure | Simple bedside tool | Limited studies; large scale trials required to assess for validity |
E: WEANS NOW | Weaning parameters; endotracheal tube; ABG; nutrition; secretions; neuromuscular blocking agents; obstructive airway disease; wakefulness | Score of 1 or more – weaning failure | Incorporates multiple parameters | Very complex score; widespread application may be difficult |
F: BWAP | Pulmonary; physiological; psychological | Score > 50 – weaning success | Comprehensive weaning checklist | Limited literature; modified-BWAP may be more practical |
G: Morganroth scale | Adverse factor score; ventilator score | Score < 55 – successful weaning; range – 27 variables max score 75 | Can be applied to pt. requiring short-term and long-term IMV | Small study; multiple variables considered |
H: Persian weaning tool | Respiratory; cardiovascular; general status of pt. | 26 parameters; range 26-75; score > 50 –readiness to wean | Comparable to BWAP score | Limited literature regarding its utility |
I: Gluck & Corgian score | RSBI; ratio of dead space/Vt; static lung compliance; airway resistance; CO2 pressure | Score < 3 – weaning success; score of 3 – not equivocal; > 3 failure to wean | Simple tool; easy bedside measurement | Small study; large trials warranted |
