Approximately 70% of patients were able to be successfully extubated immediately, with only 2.5% requiring reintubation. Those immediately extubated had decreased need for HFNC, lower infection rates, shorter LOS, and decreased mortality. Our results show that with proper patient selection and a multidisciplinary approach, immediate extubation allows for improved recovery without increased respiratory complications after pediatric liver transplantation.
