Association of extubation failure rate with patient outcomes

Key Points

• To examine how the extubation failure rate (EFR) relates to patient outcomes and identify an optimal EFR.
• Analyzed data on extubation failure rates
• Evaluated patient outcomes associated with different EFR levels
• Identified an optimal failure rate for patient recovery
• An optimal EFR was identified that may exceed the minimum failure rate
• Higher EFRs correlate with better patient outcomes under certain conditions
