Burton BN, et al. - Whether certain comorbidities, demographic factors, and postoperative outcomes are associated with 30-day reintubation after thoracic surgery, was investigated in this retrospective observational study. The nonmodifiable and modifiable risk factors, identified by researchers, were found to be related to increased odds of unplanned reintubation. The risk for 30-day mortality, reoperation, postoperative blood transfusion, and increased hospital length of stay was considerable among those who experienced unplanned intubation.
