What is the optimal rate of failed extubation?

چکیده
Failed extubation (FE), defined as reintubation 48 or 72 hours after planned extubation, occurs in a significant percentage of patients and is associated with a substantial burden of morbidity and mortality. This commentary reviews the literature describing FE rates and the clinical consequences of FE and proposes an 'optimal' rate of FE as well as avenues for future research.

Background Self-extubation is a problem in pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) and can be harmful for children. Level of sedation is a determining factor for self-extubation. The aim of this study was to compare thr rate of self-extubation and duration of ventilation following different sedative modalities.

Background: Preterm neonates are at a high risk of respiratory depression at birth. Incidence of respiratory distress is reported in 60-80% of the neonates born with the gestational age of less than 28 weeks and 15-30% of the neonates with the gestational age of less than 32-34 weeks. The present study aimed to compare the incidence and risk of failed extubation in using caffeine and aminophyll...

INTRODUCTION Availability of objective criteria for predicting successful extubation could avoid unnecessary prolongation of mechanical ventilation and/or inadvertent premature extubation, but the predictors of successful extubation in children are unclear.

We have read the research by Kapnadak et al [1] with great interest. In this article, the authors evaluate the differences in clinical outcomes relative to a high, intermediate, or low percentage of failed planned extubation. They describe that the best percentage of failed planned extubation is located in the intermediate range (7%-15%) because, in this range, more ventilator-free days and int...
