Predictive factors of extubation failure in pediatric cardiac intensive care unit: A single-center retrospective study from Thailand.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction/objective

Extubation failure increases morbidity and mortality in pediatric cardiac patients, a unique population including those with congenital heart disease or acquired heart disease. This study aimed to evaluate the predictive factors of extubation failure in pediatric cardiac patients and to determine the association between extubation failure and clinical outcomes.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective study in the pediatric cardiac intensive care unit (PCICU) of the Faculty of Medicine, Chiang Mai University, Chiang Mai, Thailand, from July 2016 to June 2021. Extubation failure was defined as the re-insertion of the endotracheal tube within 48 hours after extubation. Multivariable log-binomial regression with generalized estimating equations (GEE) was perf
