Overview

Mixed-methods study explores extubation rates and clinical practices in ICUs, indicating significant variability and influencing factors.

Key Points

  • To evaluate the relationship between spontaneous breathing trials and successful extubation, and to understand clinical practices influencing these outcomes.
  • Conducted retrospective chart reviews and interviews across five intensive care units.
  • Analyzed SBT and extubation times during two distinct periods.
  • Performed statistical analysis to identify predictors of extubation outcomes.
  • Utilized grounded theory and content analysis for qualitative data interpretation.
  • Significant increase in time from SBT to extubation from 2020 to 2023 (p < 0.01).
  • Successful extubation rates increased significantly for Unit C in 2023 (OR = 1.56, p < 0.001).
  • Variability in extubation outcomes across different units observed over time.
  • Independent factors influencing timing and success of extubation identified within unit contexts.
