Abstract
AIMS This study aims to develop an evidence-based nursing practice program to prevent unplanned endotracheal extubation (UEE) among adult patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). DESIGN This study uses the Delphi method to develop an evidence-based nursing practice program. METHODS A comprehensive review of 18 databases and evidence-based websites was conducted to gather, assess and synthesize evidence on preventing UEEs in adult patients. Using this synthesized evidence, a questionnaire was formulated for further investigation. Subsequently, input was solicited from experts through Delphi surveys to establish an evidence-based nursing practice protocol for preventing UEEs in adult ICU patients. Consistency in consultation results guided subsequent rounds of consultation. RESULTS The developed program comprised 43 evidence items categorized into nine dimensions, including risk assessment for unplanned extubation, sedation, analgesia, delirium, balloon management, psychosocial care, early extubation, catheter immobilization and protective restraints. Two rounds of expert inquiry yielded recovery rates of 94.7% and 100% for the first and second questionnaires, respectively. Kendall W values ranged from .224 to .353 (p < .001). CONCLUSION This study developed an evidence-based nursing practice program to prevent UEE in adult ICU patients, employing evidence-based practices and Delphi expert consultation methods. However, further validation of the program's effectiveness is warranted. REPORTING METHOD Findings were reported according to the Standards for Reporting Qualitative Research checklist. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION Nurses contributed to the study by participating in investigations. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION AND PATIENT CARE The program developed in this study offers an evidence-based framework for preventing unplanned extubation in hospitals, thereby reducing its incidence and enhancing the quality of nursing care.

García-Fernández J, Romero-García M, Benito-Aracil L, Pilar Delgado-Hito M. Humanisation in paediatric intensive care units: A narrative review. Intensive Crit Care Nurs 2024:103725. [PMID: 38824005 DOI: 10.1016/j.iccn.2024.103725] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2023] [Revised: 05/02/2024] [Accepted: 05/17/2024] [Indexed: 06/03/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify findings in the scientific literature relevant to the strategic lines proposed by the Humanising Intensive Care Project in the context of paediatric intensive care units. DESIGN Narrative review. METHODS A literature search was conducted in the databases PubMed, Scopus, CINHAL, and Cochrane Library. Specific indexing terms and search strategies adapted to each database were designed. The inclusion of publications was based on two criteria: 1) related to the paediatric intensive care unit and 2) addresses at least one of the topics related to the strategic lines of the Humanising Intensive Care Project. Study selection was carried out following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines and the quality of the included studies was assessed using the Mixed Method Appraisal tool. RESULTS A total of 100 articles from 19 different countries were included, covering the period between 2019 and 2021. Nineteen different design types were identified. Thirty-two studies were cross-sectional observational studies, while 15 had an experimental approach. The articles were distributed among the seven strategic lines of the Humanising Intensive Care Project. CONCLUSIONS Synthesising the knowledge related to humanisation in paediatric intensive care units will allow progress to be made in improving quality in these units. However, there is disparity in the amount of experimental research overall. IMPLICATIONS FOR CLINICAL PRACTICE There is a disparity in the available research related to the different strategic lines, and it is necessary to carry out more exhaustive research on topics such as the presence and participation of the family in care or the management of post-paediatric intensive care syndrome.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare reintubation rates after planned extubation and unplanned extubation (UE) in patients in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), to analyse risk factors for reintubation after UE and to compare outcomes in patients with and without UE. DESIGN Prospective, observational study nested in a randomised controlled trial (SEPREVEN/Study on Epidemiology and PRevention of adverse EVEnts in Neonates). Outcomes were expected to be independent of the intervention tested. SETTING 12 NICUs in France with a 20-month follow-up, starting November 2015. PATIENTS n=2280 patients with a NICU stay >2 days, postmenstrual age ≤42 weeks on admission. INTERVENTIONS/EXPOSURE Characteristics of UE (context, timing, sedative administration in the preceding 6 hours, weaning from ventilation at time of UE) and patients. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Healthcare professional-reported UE rates, reintubation/timing after extubation, duration of mechanical ventilation, mortality and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). RESULTS There were 162 episodes of UE (139 patients, median gestational age (IQR) 27.3 (25.6-31.7) weeks). Cumulative reintubation rates within 24 hours and 7 days of UE were, respectively, 50.0% and 57.5%, compared with 5.5% and 12.3% after a planned extubation. Independent risk factors for reintubation within 7 days included absence of weaning at the time of UE (HR, 95% CI) and sedatives in the preceding 6 hours (HR 1.93, 95% CI 1.04 to 3.60). Mortality at discharge did not differ between patients with planned extubation or UE. UE was associated with a higher risk of BPD. CONCLUSION In the SEPREVEN trial, reintubation followed UE in 58% of the cases, compared with 12% after planned extubation. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT02598609.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Most children undergoing craniotomy with general endotracheal anesthesia are extubated postoperatively, but some require unplanned postoperative intubation (UPI). We sought to determine the incidence of UPI and identify associated factors and related postoperative mortality. METHODS The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program for Pediatrics (2012-2018) was used to retrospectively identify patients less than 18 years old who underwent craniotomy for epilepsy, tumor, and congenital/cyst procedures. Perioperative factors associated with UPI were identified with logistic regression models. RESULTS We identified 15,292 children, of whom 144 (0.94%) required UPI. Ninety-two (0.60%) children required UPI within the first 3 days after surgery. Postoperative mortality was higher among children with UPI within 3 days than in those with UPI later or not at all (8.0 vs. 2.2 vs. 0.3%, respectively; P <0.001). Posterior fossa procedures trended towards an increased odds of UPI (odds ratio [OR], 1.50; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.99 to 2.27; P =0.05). Five preoperative factors were independently associated with UPI: age ≤ 12 months (OR, 2.78; 95% CI, 1.29 to 5.98), ASA classification ≥3 (OR, 1.92; 95% CI, 1.12 to 3.29), emergent case status (OR, 2.06; 95% CI, 1.30 to 3.26), neuromuscular disease (OR, 1.87; 95% CI, 1.01 to 3.47), and steroid use within 30 days (OR, 1.79; 95% CI 1.14 to 2.79). Long operative times were independently associated with UPI (200 to 400 vs. <200 min OR, 1.92; 95% CI 1.18 to 3.11 and ≥400 vs. <200 min OR, 4.66; 95% CI 2.70 to 8.03). CONCLUSION Although uncommon, UPI in children who underwent craniotomy was associated with an elevated risk of postoperative mortality. The presence of identifiable risk factors may be used for preoperative counseling and risk profiling in these patients.

Abstract
Background Unplanned extubating is the most common adverse event occurring in intensive care units (ICUs) and significantly increases morbidity and mortality in children, but there is limited current evidence on unplanned extubating in Ethiopia. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the incidence, outcome, and determinants of unplanned extubating among children in the pediatric intensive care unit in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, in 2023. Methods A nested unmatched case-control design study was conducted at selected government hospitals in Addis Ababa from September 1, 2022, to April 30, 2023. A total of 198 intubated child patients (66 cases of unplanned extubating were nested with 132 controls of planned extubating) were followed up until they completed the full weaning process or based on hospital protocols. Data was collected through standardized data extraction, and the data was cleaned, entered into Epidata version 4.6, and exported to SPSS version 25.0 for further analysis. Binary and multiple logistic regression analyses were used to identify determinants of unplanned extubating, with an adjusted odds ratio (AOR) of 99% confidence interval (CI) at p value <0.01. Results The study revealed a high mortality rate of 15.65% among intubated children in pediatric intensive care units, and the incidence of unplanned extubating was 7.2 per 100 days. This study identified determinants of unplanned extubating among patients admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit: agitated patients (AOR = 3.708; 99% CI: 1.401-9.81), working in night shift hours (AOR: 8.789; 99% CI: 2.37-32.58), use of plaster or roll bandages separately (AOR = 4.12; 99% CI: 1.215-13.96), A nurse-to-patient ration 1:2 (AOR: 6.65, 99% CI: 1.87-23.69), intermittent sedation (AOR, 3.717; 99% CI, 1.017-10.816), physically restrained (AOR = 3.717; 99% CI: 1.02-13.54), and death outcome (AOR = 14.86, 99% CI: 3. 24-68.097), respectively. Conclusion and Recommendations This study found that the incidence and mortality rate of unplanned extubating were high, with identified determinants increasing the risk of unplanned extubating among patients admitted to pediatric intensive care unit. Therefore, policymakers and health planners should design further protocols and algorithms for the management of pediatric endotracheal intubation (ETT) quality of patient outcomes and to prevent unplanned extubating in a resource limited set up.

Abstract
Unplanned extubations (UEs) are common, potentially avoidable complications of endotracheal intubation among pediatric patients. UE can be associated with adverse patient outcomes including increased length of stay, hospitalization cost, and cardiorespiratory decompensation. Inconsistency in the definition of UE has led to underreporting. Staff must be able to recognize and intervene appropriately when an UE occurs. Risk factors have been identified and quality improvement initiatives aimed at reducing UE have shown to be effective in reducing the incidence. The lack of consistent definition may lead to underreporting and may not lead to effective quality improvement initiatives.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Unplanned extubations are an infrequent but life-threatening adverse event in pediatric critical care. Due to the rarity of these events, previous studies have been small, limiting the generalizability of findings and the ability to detect associations. Our objectives were to describe unplanned extubations and explore predictors of unplanned extubation requiring reintubation in PICUs. DESIGN Retrospective observational study and multilevel regression model. SETTING PICUs participating in Virtual Pediatric Systems (LLC). PATIENTS Patients (≤ 18 yr) who had an unplanned extubation in PICU (2012-2020). INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS We developed and trained a multilevel least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) logistic regression model in the 2012-2016 sample that accounted for between-PICU variations as a random effect to predict reintubation after unplanned extubation. The remaining sample (2017-2020) was used to externally validate the model. Predictors included age, weight, sex, primary diagnosis, admission type, and readmission status. Model calibration and discriminatory performance were evaluated using Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit (HL-GOF) and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC), respectively. Of the 5,703 patients included, 1,661 (29.1%) required reintubation. Variables associated with increased risk of reintubation were age (< 2 yr; odds ratio [OR], 1.5; 95% CI, 1.1-1.9) and diagnosis (respiratory; OR, 1.3; 95% CI, 1.1-1.6). Scheduled admission was associated with decreased risk of reintubation (OR, 0.7; 95% CI, 0.6-0.9). With LASSO (lambda = 0.011), remaining variables were age, weight, diagnosis, and scheduled admission. The predictors resulted in AUROC of 0.59 (95% CI, 0.57-0.61); HL-GOF showed the model was well calibrated (p = 0.88). The model performed similarly in external validation (AUROC, 0.58; 95% CI, 0.56-0.61). CONCLUSIONS Predictors associated with increased risk of reintubation included age and respiratory primary diagnosis. Including clinical factors (e.g., oxygen and ventilatory requirements at the time of unplanned extubation) in the model may increase predictive ability.

Abstract
AbstractThe aim of this study was to quantify associations between the risk of unplanned extubation and patient-, environment-, and care-related factors in pediatric critical care and to compare outcomes between children who did and did not experience an unplanned extubation. This is a retrospective case–control analysis including patients <18 years who experienced an unplanned extubation during intensive care unit (ICU) admission (2004–2014). Cases were matched by age, duration of mechanical ventilation, and date to control patients (4:1) who were intubated but did not experience an unplanned extubation. Conditional logistic regression was used to evaluate associations between unplanned extubations and the abstracted characteristics. We identified 1,601 eligible controls matched to 458 case patients. When adjusted for confounders, eight variables were associated with unplanned extubation: three patient-related factors (previous ICU admission, previous intubation, and the volume of secretions); one environment-related factor (patient room setup); and four care-related factors (intubation route, and the use of sedation, muscle relaxation, and restraints). Patients who had an unplanned extubation had longer length of stay, but lower rate of mortality. This is the largest case–control study identifying variables associated with unplanned extubation in pediatric critical care. Several are potentially modifiable and may provide opportunities to improve quality of care in controlled ICU environments.

Quality improvement interventions to prevent unplanned extubations in pediatric critical care: a systematic review. Syst Rev 2022; 11:259. [PMID: 36461126 PMCID: PMC9717500 DOI: 10.1186/s13643-022-02119-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2022] [Accepted: 11/03/2022] [Indexed: 12/05/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND An unplanned extubation is the uncontrolled and accidental removal of a breathing tube and is an important quality indicator in pediatric critical care. The objective of this review was to comprehensively synthesize literature published on quality improvement (QI) practices implemented to reduce the rate of unplanned extubations in critically ill children. METHODS We included original, primary research on quality improvement interventions to reduce the rate of unplanned extubations in pediatric critical care. A search was conducted in MEDLINE (Ovid), Embase, and CINAHL from inception through April 29, 2021. Two reviewers independently screened citations in duplicate using pre-determined eligibility criteria. Data from included studies were abstracted using a tool created by the authors, and QI interventions were categorized using the Behavior Change Wheel. Vote counting based on the direct of effect was used to describe the effectiveness of quality improvement interventions. Study quality was assessed using the Quality Improvement Minimum Quality Criteria Set (QI-MQCS). Results were presented as descriptive statistics and narrative syntheses. RESULTS Thirteen studies were included in the final review. Eleven described primary QI projects; two were sustainability studies that followed up on previously described QI interventions. Under half of the included studies were rated as high-quality. The median number of QI interventions described by each study was 5 [IQR 4-5], with a focus on guidelines, environmental restructuring, education, training, and communication. Ten studies reported decreased unplanned extubation rates after the QI intervention; of these, seven had statistically significant reductions. Both sustainability studies observed increased rates that were not statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS This review provides a comprehensive synthesis of QI interventions to reduce unplanned extubation. With only half the studies achieving a high-quality rating, there is room for improvement when conducting and reporting research in this area. Findings from this review can be used to support clinical recommendations to prevent unplanned extubations, and support patient safety in pediatric critical care. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION This review was registered on PROSPERO (CRD42021252233) prior to data extraction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Daily assessment of patient readiness for liberation from invasive mechanical ventilation can reduce the duration of ventilation. However, there is uncertainty about the effectiveness of this in a paediatric population. OBJECTIVES To determine the effect of a ventilation liberation intervention in critically ill children who are anticipated to have a prolonged duration of mechanical ventilation (primary objective) and in all children (secondary objective). DESIGN A pragmatic, stepped-wedge, cluster randomised trial with economic and process evaluations. SETTING Paediatric intensive care units in the UK. PARTICIPANTS Invasively mechanically ventilated children (aged < 16 years). INTERVENTIONS The intervention incorporated co-ordinated multidisciplinary care, patient-relevant sedation plans linked to sedation assessment, assessment of ventilation parameters with a higher than usual trigger for undertaking an extubation readiness test and a spontaneous breathing trial on low levels of respiratory support to test extubation readiness. The comparator was usual care. Hospital sites were randomised sequentially to transition from control to intervention and were non-blinded. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The primary outcome measure was the duration of invasive mechanical ventilation until the first successful extubation. The secondary outcome measures were successful extubation, unplanned extubation and reintubation, post-extubation use of non-invasive ventilation, tracheostomy, post-extubation stridor, adverse events, length of intensive care and hospital stay, mortality and cost per respiratory complication avoided at 28 days. RESULTS The trial included 10,495 patient admissions from 18 paediatric intensive care units from 5 February 2018 to 14 October 2019. In children with anticipated prolonged ventilation (n = 8843 admissions: control, n = 4155; intervention, n = 4688), the intervention resulted in a significantly shorter time to successful extubation [cluster and time-adjusted median difference -6.1 hours (interquartile range -8.2 to -5.3 hours); adjusted hazard ratio 1.11, 95% confidence interval 1.02 to 1.20; p = 0.02] and a higher incidence of successful extubation (adjusted relative risk 1.01, 95% confidence interval 1.00 to 1.02; p = 0.03) and unplanned extubation (adjusted relative risk 1.62, 95% confidence interval 1.05 to 2.51; p = 0.03), but not reintubation (adjusted relative risk 1.10, 95% confidence interval 0.89 to 1.36; p = 0.38). In the intervention period, the use of post-extubation non-invasive ventilation was significantly higher (adjusted relative risk 1.22, 95% confidence interval 1.01 to 1.49; p = 0.04), with no evidence of a difference in intensive care length of stay or other harms, but hospital length of stay was longer (adjusted hazard ratio 0.89, 95% confidence interval 0.81 to 0.97; p = 0.01). Findings for all children were broadly similar. The control period was associated with lower, but not statistically significantly lower, total costs (cost difference, mean £929.05, 95% confidence interval -£516.54 to £2374.64) and significantly fewer respiratory complications avoided (mean difference -0.10, 95% confidence interval -0.16 to -0.03). LIMITATIONS The unblinded intervention assignment may have resulted in performance or detection bias. It was not possible to determine which components were primarily responsible for the observed effect. Treatment effect in a more homogeneous group remains to be determined. CONCLUSIONS The intervention resulted in a statistically significant small reduction in time to first successful extubation; thus, the clinical importance of the effect size is uncertain. FUTURE WORK Future work should explore intervention sustainability and effects of the intervention in other paediatric populations. TRIAL REGISTRATION This trial is registered as ISRCTN16998143.

Cho JE, Yeo JH. Risk factors for unplanned extubation in ventilated neonates in South Korea. J Pediatr Nurs 2022; 62:e54-e59. [PMID: 34301441 DOI: 10.1016/j.pedn.2021.07.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2021] [Revised: 07/05/2021] [Accepted: 07/06/2021] [Indexed: 12/26/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Although unplanned extubation (UE) is a common occurrence in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), the factors influencing UE have not been clearly identified in South Korea. Therefore, we investigated the incidence of UE along with its risk factors among neonates in the NICU. DESIGN AND METHODS This retrospective cohort study was conducted in a single NICU in B city. The electronic medical records of 137 ventilated neonates admitted between January 2017 and June 2018 were analyzed using an audit tool on extubation. Kaplan-Meier estimation and univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards models were used for statistical analyses. RESULTS The rate of UE was 32.1%, with an incidence of 6.56 per 100 ventilation days during the 18-month study period. Risk factors for UE were the use of sedatives or analgesics; no re-fixation of the endotracheal tube (ETT); suction frequency; a high nurse-patient ratio; and working night shifts (weekdays 5 p.m. to 8 a.m.), weekends, or holidays. CONCLUSIONS The rate of UE among neonates was found to be considerably higher than that of other countries. Among the various factors, nursing-related factors were most commonly associated with the risk of UE. APPLICATION TO PRACTICE Various prevention strategies, including complete ETT fixation, maintaining ETT placement, a low nurse-patient ratio, and close observation of the ETT may help reduce UE in the NICU.
