Abstract
This multicenter study showed that 11% of neonates recovering from cardiac surgery fail initial postoperative extubation. Only congenital airway anomaly was independently associated with extubation failure. We observed a 4-fold variation in extubation failure rates across hospitals, suggesting a role for collaborative quality improvement to optimize outcomes.
