Variation in extubation failure rates after neonatal congenital heart surgery across Pediatric Cardiac Critical Care Consortium hospitals.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

In a multicenter cohort of neonates recovering from cardiac surgery, we sought to describe the epidemiology of extubation failure and its variability across centers, identify risk factors, and determine its impact on outcomes.

Methods

We analyzed prospectively collected clinical registry data on all neonates undergoing cardiac surgery in the Pediatric Cardiac Critical Care Consortium database from October 2013 to July 2015. Extubation failure was defined as reintubation less than 72 hours after the first planned extubation. Risk factors were identified using multivariable logistic regression with generalized estimating equations to account for within-center correlation.

Results

The cohort included 899 neonates from 14 Pediatric Cardiac Critical Care Consorti
