Revisiting unplanned extubation in the pediatric intensive care unit: What's new?

In 2010, recommendations for preventing unplanned extubations (UEs) in pediatric patients were published based on a literature review. Since then, there have been an increasing number of publications related to UE focusing on children. If the introduction of care bundles and larger body of evidence on UE had impact on UE occurrence, this would have important implications on clinical practice. We searched for relevant publications published between Jan 1, 2010 and Jun 30, 2016 in the MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane systems.
