Time definition of reintubation most relevant to patient outcomes in critically ill patients: a multicenter cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Reintubation is a common complication in critically ill patients requiring mechanical ventilation. Although reintubation has been demonstrated to be associated with patient outcomes, its time definition varies widely among guidelines and in the literature.
