Early extubation was defined as ventilation shorter than 12 h. Aim To identify markers associated with successful early extubation after paediatric cardiac surgery. Methods Retrospective-prospective clinical study was performed in Paediatric Clinic and Heart Centre Clinical Centre Univerity of Sarajevo during period from 01.01.2006. till 01.01.2011. Study included 100 children up to 5 years of age with congenital heart disease with left–right shunt and opstructive congenital heart disease, Patients were devided into two groups: I Group-54 patients extubated within 12 h after surgery and Group II- 46 patients extubated more then 12 h after surgery. Results The most frequently encountered preopeartive variables were age with odds ratio 4% 95% CI(1–7%), Down’s syndrome 8,5 95% CI (1,6–43,15), failure to thrive 4,3 95% CI(1–18). Statisticly significant postoperative data included lung disease (reactive airways, pneumonia, atelectasis, pneumothorax) and with odds ratio 35,1 95% CI (4–286) and blood transfusion with odds ratio 4,6 95% CI(2–12). Proven markers were age with cut of 21,5 months (sensitivity 74% and specificity 70%) and extracorporeal circulation (ECC) with cut of 45,5 min (sensitivity 71% and specificity 65%). Conclusion Younger age and prolonged time ECC are markers associated with prolonged mechanical ventilation. ER -
