PG - 763-772 LID - 31079 [pii] LID - 10.26355/eurrev_202301_31079 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVE: Anesthesia management in pediatric cardiac surgery using health resources sparingly focuses on reducing morbidity and mortality and increasing patients' quality of life. The duration of postoperative mechanical ventilation (MV) heavily influences pediatric cardiac surgery recovery. Thus, in this study we aimed to determine factors influencing extubation times after pediatric cardiac surgery. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A total of 72 pediatric patients with an ASA score of III or above undergoing cardiac surgery were included in the study. As a result of their extubation time, the patients were divided into three groups as follows: those who were extubated immediately after surgery or in the operating room (OR) were recorded as Immediate Extubators (IE); those who were extubated within 6 to 48 hours of entering the intensive care unit were recorded as Early Extubators (EE), and those who were extubated after 48 hours or not extubated were recorded as Delayed Extubators (DE). RESULTS: A logistic regression analysis showed that anomalies and need of MV before surgery, airway difficulty, and prolonged cross-clamp (CC) time were observed as factors affecting DE. The risk of DE was significantly correlated with the presence of abnormality [Odds ratio (OR): 20.3, 95% Confident interval (CI): 2.8-142.7], with the need of MV before surgery (OR: 1,844, 95% CI: 1.8-1,790,461.9), and with the presence of airway difficulty (OR: 44.7, 95% CI: 4.4-445.0). In addition, it was determined that CC time increased the probability of DE 1.038 times per minute (95% CI: 1.004-1.072). CONCLUSIONS: Early and immediate extubation in children who underwent congenital heart surgery was successfully performed in our clinic. Early and immediate extubation in pediatric cardiac surgery can be completed safely and successfully when suitable conditions are provided.
