Risk Factors Associated with Reintubation in Trauma Patients
The data associated with this publication are not available for this reason: N/A
Abstract
• Reintubation is associated with increased mortality, complications, hospital stay, and financial burden.
• Most studies have focused on reintubation in medically ill ICU populations.
• However, surgical ICU patients with traumatic injuries have different pathophysiology, comorbidities, and injury patterns.
• We evaluated comorbidities, injury patterns, and events leading up to extubation in trauma patients associated with reintubation.
• Elucidating risk factors leading to reintubation may help inform clinical practice in the surgical ICU.
