Background: Extubation failure in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) remains common (≈10–20%) and is associated with higher mortality, longer PICU and hospital length of stay, and increased costs. Existing readiness assessments—clinical criteria and spontaneous breathing trials (SBTs)—have imperfect predictive
