Reverse shock index (RSI) as a predictor of post‐intubation cardiac arrest (PICA)
Background Endotracheal intubation (ETI) in critically ill patients is a high-risk procedure due to the increased risk
of cardiac arrest, and several factors may predict poor outcomes in these patients. The aim of this study was to inves-
