Abstract
AIM: To determine predictors and outcomes of extubation failure in extremely preterm (EP) infants born <28 weeks' gestational age (GA). METHODS: Retrospective clinical audit across two tertiary-level neonatal intensive care units in Melbourne, Australia. Two-hundred and four EP infants who survived to their first extubation from mechanical ventilation. Extubation failure (re-intubation) within 7 days after the first extubation. RESULTS: Lower GA (odds ratio [OR] 0.71, 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.61-0.89, P < 0.001) and higher pre-extubation measured mean airway pressure (MAP) on the mechanical ventilator (OR 1.9 [95% CI 1.41-2.51], P < 0.001) predicted extubation failure. The area under ..
