This study provides novel data on the prevalence, risk factors and outcomes associated with extubation failure in a single-centre South African PICU. The results of this study may help identify high-risk groups for extubation failure within our local context, and forms a basis for practice improvement initiatives aimed at decreasing extubation failure rates and improving outcomes.
