Risk Factors for Extubation Failure After Pediatric Cardiac Surgery and Impact on Outcomes: A Multicenter Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Extubation failure (EF) after pediatric cardiac surgery is associated with increased morbidity and mortality.

Objectives

We sought to describe the risk factors associated with early (< 48 hr) and late (48 hr ≤ 168 hr) EF after pediatric cardiac surgery and the clinical implications of these two types of EF.

Design setting and participants

Retrospective cohort study using prospectively collected clinical data for the Pediatric Cardiac Critical Care Consortium (PC4) Registry. Pediatric patients undergoing Society of Thoracic Surgeons benchmark operation or heart transplant between 2013 and 2018 available in the PC4 Registry were included.

Main outcomes and measures

We analyzed demographics and risk factors associated with EFs (primary outcome) includin
