Clinical predictors of extubation failure in postoperative critically ill patients: a post-hoc analysis of a multicenter prospective observational study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Postoperative patients constitute majority of critically ill patients, although factors predicting extubation failure in this group of patients remain unidentified. Aiming to propose clinical predictors of reintubation in postoperative patients, we conducted a post-hoc analysis of a multicenter prospective observational study.

Methods

This study included postoperative critically ill patients who underwent mechanical ventilation for > 24 h and were extubated after a successful 30-min spontaneous breathing trial. The primary outcome was reintubation within 48 h after extubation, and clinical predictors for reintubation were investigated using logistic regression analyses.

Results

Among the 355 included patients, 10.7% required reintubation. Multivariable logi
