Clinical prediction rules of postoperative reintubation within 24 hours after general anesthesia: a retrospective case-control study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Reintubation after planned extubation (RAP) following general anesthesia is a serious complication associated with intensive care unit admission, prolonged hospitalization, and increased mortality. Despite its clinical significance, no routinely validated clinical scoring system currently exists for predicting RAP. This study aimed to develop a clinical prediction rule for reintubation within 24 h after general anesthesia.

Methods

This retrospective case-control study included 657 patients (235 cases and 422 controls) who underwent general anesthesia at Ramathibodi Hospital between 2014 and 2018. Cases were defined as patients reintubated within 24 h after planned extubation, and controls were randomly selected from those with successful extubation on the same ope
