Popis: Background Risk factors for reintubation in post-anaesthetic care units related to anaesthetic processes have not previously been reported. Our goal was to identify risk factors for reintubation in general surgical patients. Methods A time-matched, case–control study was conducted on anaesthetic patients between 2001 and 2011. One hundred and sixty-four reintubated patients were compared with 656 randomly selected controls. Results Independent risk factors for reintubation were age 60 (OR=4.1, CI=1.2–13.4), emergency case (OR=1.8, CI=1.0–3.1), operative time >3 vs Conclusions Age 3 h were operative factors, while certain neuromuscular blocking agents and ASA physical status III were anaesthetic factors for reintubation.
