Popis: In this article, our primary objective was to investigate the prevalence and etiology of extubation failure (EF) in patients following cardiac surgery for congenital heart disease. Secondarily, we examined the association of different risk factors with EF. This was single-center retrospective study in a 27-bed cardiac intensive care unit at a quaternary children's hospital. All patients between 0 and 18 years of age who underwent congenital cardiac surgery from January 2008 to September 2019 were included. During the study period, among 8,750 surgical encounters, 257 (2.9%) failed extubation, defined as reintubation within 48 hours from extubation. EF patients were younger, smaller, more likely to have genetic syndromes, higher Society of Thoracic Surgeons and the European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (STAT) mortality scores, single-ventricle physiology, longer cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and cross-clamp (XC) times, longer mechanical ventilation (MV) duration, and higher mortality (p
