Extubation outcomes in critically ill post-craniotomy patients: A retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Extubation failure is common in critically ill post-craniotomy patients. This study aimed to assess extubation outcomes and examine demographic and surgical predictors of extubation success.

Methods

In this retrospective cohort study, we analyzed adult ICU patients from January 2017 to December 2020 with ≥24 hours of both ICU stay and endotracheal intubation. We collected demographic characteristics, surgical parameters, severity scores (APACHE II, SOFA, GCS), and extubation outcomes. Independent predictors of successful extubation were determined through multivariate logistic regression.

Results

Among 1,683 enrolled patients, first-attempt extubation success was achieved in 70.7% (1,190/1,683), declining to 46.6% (135/290) and 28.6% (12/42) for second and t
