Abstract
Extubation in the operating room was successful in a majority of patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Multivariate analysis identified weight<5 kg, age<1 year, cardiopulmonary bypass time>120 minutes, and presence of significant noncardiac structural anomalies as significant factors affecting extubation in the operating room, with an adjusted odds ratio (95% confidence interval) of 10 (2.7-37), 7.2 (2-22), 5.5 (1.7-17.7), and 3.3 (1.2-9.3), respectively. Pulmonary hypertension, redo sternotomy, higher Risk Adjusted Congenital Heart Surgery category, and aortic clamp time>60 minutes did not achieve significance in the multivariate analysis as risk factors for extubation in the operating room.
