Importance of Integrated Pulmonary Index in Pediatric Bronchoscopy

Abstract

Integrated Pulmonary Index (IPI) is a tool that provides numerical values on a scale of 1-10 based on physiological parameters such as peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2), pulse rate, respiratory rate, end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2). It is a valuable monitor for sedation procedures and can provide early warning during cardiorespiratory derangements. In this study, we wanted to evaluate the value of IPI in cases of pediatric bronchoscopy performed under sedation. Our outcome measure will be the correlation of IPI values with standard monitoring parameters.
