The failure rate of planned extubations of patients within the first 48 hours of arrival in the PICU is, on average, half that of the rate for patients ventilated for longer than 48 hours. This presents previously unpublished data from the 2003 report of Kurachek et al7 of extubation practices in 16 PICUs across the United States.
