Advanced age and gender are risk factors for extubation failure in adult ICU

Introduction: Failure in the invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) withdrawal process is associated with adverse outcomes such as high hospital mortality and high costs. Objective: To know the risk factors for extubation failure in an adult intensive care unit (ICU) undergoing IMV. Secondly, to know...

Sumario:Introduction: Failure in the invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) withdrawal process is associated with adverse outcomes such as high hospital mortality and high costs. Objective: To know the risk factors for extubation failure in an adult intensive care unit (ICU) undergoing IMV. Secondly, to know the rate of orotracheal reintubation (Re-TOT). Methods: Prospective, observational study conducted on electronic medical records over a period of 11 consecutive months in an adult ICU. Chi-square or Fischer's Exact tests compared Re-TOT, sex and age groups. Results: Medical records from 224 adults were analyzed, with a mean age of 61.9 ± 16.9 years and 48.2% male. The main reason for hospitalization was due to acute respiratory failure (33%). Women were susceptible to extubation failure compared to men (21.5% vs. 10%, p = 0.019; respectively), and advanced age. Re-TOT was 31.5%. Conclusion: Female gender and advanced age were risk factors for extubation failure. Re-TOT was higher than other indexes in the literature.
