Unplanned Endotracheal Extubations in the Intensive Care Unit
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: In this study, we updated the state of knowledge on unplanned tracheal extubations in the intensive care unit. We focused on the following topics: incidence, risk factors, reintubation after unplanned extubation, outcomes, and prevention. Based on this review, recommendations were made for preventing unplanned extubations. METHODS: Electronic databases were searched for relevant publications from January 1, 1950 through June 30, 2011 on the MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, SciELO, LILACS, and Cochrane systems. Fifty articles were eligible for data abstraction. Study quality was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Grades of recommendation were assessed according to the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine. RESULTS: Unplanned extubations occur at a rate of 0.1 to 3.6 events per 100 intubation days. Risk factors associated with unplanned extubations included male gender (odds ratio [OR] 4.8), APACHE score ≥17 (OR 9.0), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, restlessness/agitation (OR 3.3-30.6), lower sedation level (OR 2.0-5.4), higher consciousness level (OR 1.4-2.0), and use of physical restraints (OR 3.1). Reintubation rates ranged from 1.8% to 88% of unplanned extubations. Thirteen studies assessed preventive measures for avoiding unplanned extubations. These studies focused on data collection tools, standardization of procedures, staff education, staff surveillance, and identification and management of high-risk patients. These studies reported reductions in unplanned extubation rate from 22% to 53%. The best methods of securing the endotracheal tube and use of physical restraints remain controversial issues. CONCLUSIONS: Despite numerous publications on unplanned extubation, few studies assess preventive strategies for adverse events, and few clinical trials have assessed unplanned extubations. Recommendations are proposed based on the currently available literature.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
