Analysis of Risk Factors and Nursing Strategies for Unplanned Extubation in Children: Retrospective Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Unplanned extubation (UEX) is a critical indicator of nursing care quality. Existing research primarily focuses on pediatric intensive care units (PICUs), with limited data available from general pediatric surgery. Currently, most studies on this topic are mainly focused on PICUs, and there is a lack of research data regarding general pediatric surgery. Therefore, further research should be conducted based on this consideration.

Objective

This study aimed to analyze the high-risk factors for UEX in children and implement appropriate nursing strategies to reduce its incidence, ensuring clinical safety of pediatric patients.

Methods

A retrospective study (January 2018 - December 2023) included pediatric patients with indwelling catheters in general surgery. E
