FRIEND or FOE: A prospective evaluation of risk factors for reintubation in surgical and trauma patients - 06/12/18
Abstract |
Background |
A Form for Re-Intubation Evaluation by Nurses and Doctors (FRIEND) was used to prospectively collect pre-extubation data, to determine failure of extubation (FOE) risk.
Methods |
FRIENDs, including airway, breathing, and neurologic variables, were completed before extubation on trauma & surgical patients in one ICU from 1/1/16 to 5/31/17. Those with failed vs. successful extubation were compared. We excluded those with tracheostomy, comfort measures, or death before extubation.
Results |
There were 464 eligible extubations in 436 patients. Thirty five reintubations (7.9% FOE rate) occurred in 32 patients within 96 h of extubation. FOE patients had higher ICU days (6 d vs. 2 d), ventilator days (6 d vs. 2 d), and mortality (15.6% vs. 2.7%) [all p < 0.001] compared to those without FOE. Odds of FOE (OR [CI]) increased with age (1.03, [1, 1.06]), delirium (3, [1.16, 7.76]), moderate/copious secretions (3.95, [1.46, 10.66]), and enteral opioid use (4.23, [1.28, 14.02]).
Conclusions |
Several characteristics present at the time of extubation were risk factors for FOE in trauma and surgical patients. Patients with FOE had higher mortality.

• | Reintubation may or may not relate to factors contemporaneous with extubation. |
• | Reintubation within 96 h of extubation is considered failure of extubation (FOE). |
• | Failure of extubation was associated with higher mortality, ICU and ventilator days. |
• | Risk factors for failure of extubation may be identified and potentially modified. |
Summary |
We performed a prospective study to determine risk factors for reintubation in trauma and surgical patients by collecting patient-level variables just prior to extubation using FRIEND (Form for Re-Intubation Evaluation by Nurses and Doctors). The failure of extubation (FOE) rate within 96 h of extubation was 7.3%. ICU days (6 d vs. 2 d), ventilator days (6 d vs. 2 d), and mortality (15.6% vs. 2.7%) were all greater in patients with FOE [all p < 0.001]. On multivariate analysis, odds of FOE (OR [CI]) increased with age (1.03, [1, 1.06]), delirium (3, [1.16, 7.76]), moderate/copious secretions (3.95, [1.46, 10.66]), and enteral opioid use (4.23, [1.28, 14.02]).
