Article Synopsis
- This study investigated the factors linked to extubation failure in critically ill adults on mechanical ventilation at a hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
- A total of 505 patients were analyzed, revealing a 14.3% failure rate, with significant differences in ventilation duration, respiratory rate, pH, and cough strength between successful and failed extubations.
- Key risk factors identified for extubation failure included older age, longer mechanical ventilation duration, a faster respiratory rate, and lower pH levels.
Background: ICU readmission is associated with poor outcomes. Few studies have directly compared the outcomes of early versus late readmissions, especially in Saudi Arabia.
Objective: To compare the outcomes between early and late ICU readmissions, mainly with regards to hospital mortality.
