The safety of immediate extubation, and factors associated with delayed extubation, in cardiac surgical patients receiving fast-track cardiac anesthesia: An integrative review

CONCLUSION: Evidence pertaining to treatment outcomes associated with FTCA and IE is weak. Observational studies cannot determine causation. Large multicentre randomized control trials are required to determine the safety of IE. Although numerous factors have been associated with delayed extubation, several studies do not describe how or which factors were selected for examination. Therefore, certain factors may have yet to be evaluated. Future studies should comprehensively define all factors under investigation.PMID:36741304 | PMC:PMC9854388 | DOI:10.29390/cjrt-2022-037
