Overnight extubation and risk of extubation failure in patients in the pediatric intensive care unit: an exploratory review.

ABSTRACT:

Background/objectives

Extubation in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) requires care and thoroughness to minimize risks of extubation failure, systemic complications, and mortality. Up to 20% of patients in the PICU experience extubation failure, resulting in reintubation, longer hospital stays, and higher healthcare costs. Currently, no reviews have synthesized findings on the effect of overnight extubation and its association with extubation failure.

Methods

This exploratory review was conducted based on the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology and PRISMA extension for scoping reviews guidelines. We analyzed studies collected from databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Science Direct, VHL Regional Portal, and Google Scholar using MeSH terms, Boolean operators
