Influence of Early Extubation Location on Outcomes Following Pediatric Cardiac Surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Early extubation following pediatric cardiac surgery is common, but debate exists whether location affects outcome, with some centers performing routine early extubations in the operating room (odds ratio) and others in the cardiac ICU. We aimed to define early extubation practice variation across hospitals and assess impact of location on hospital length-of-stay and other outcomes.

Design

Secondary analysis of the Pediatric Cardiac Critical Care Consortium registry.

Setting

Twenty-eight Pediatric Cardiac Critical Care Consortium hospitals.

Patients

Patients undergoing Society of Thoracic Surgeons-European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery mortality category 1-3 operations between August 2014 and February 2018.

Interventions

None.
