Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the factors influencing immediate extubation after liver transplantation and its effects on postoperative outcomes.
- Out of 279 patients, 28.7% experienced immediate extubation, with factors like prolonged anhepatic time and high blood transfusion reducing the likelihood of this outcome.
- Results indicate that immediate extubation leads to lower rates of pulmonary complications, shorter ICU stays, and reduced costs, making it a safe approach for suitable patients.
