Abstract
Background: Although the risk factors for decannulation failure have been discussed in the literature, there are many unclear points on this issue.
Aims and objectives: To identify risk factors for developing decannulation failure after single-stage surgical reconstruction of post-intubation tracheal stenosis (TS).
Material and methods: A total of 45 adult patients with post-intubation TS admitted to our institution and underwent single-stage surgical reconstruction between April 2008 and May 2018. Nine patients developed decannulation failure by postoperative 6 months (Failed Decannulation Group), and 36 patients were decannulated successfully (Successful Decannulation Group). Causal factors of intubation were noted. Patient-related risk factors of decannulation failure were compared between two groups.
Results: Failed Decannulation Group had a significantly higher body mass index (p = .034) and were more likely to have diabetes (p = .025). Patients who were previously intubated for more than 48 h (p = .043) were significantly more likely to have decannulation failure. The presence of comorbid diseases did not place a patient under statistically significant risk of decannulation failure.
Conclusion: Patients with high body mass index, the ones with diabetes, and patients who were previously intubated for more than 48 h were more likely to develop decannulation failure.

背景:尽管文献中已经有关于拔管失败的危险因素的讨论, 但在这个问题上仍有许多不明确之处。
目的:探讨气管插管后狭窄(TS)单期重建术后拔管失败的危险因素。
材料与方法:2008年4月至2018年5月, 我院共收治45例成人气管插管后TS患者, 进行单期手术重建。术后6个月发生拔管失败9例(拔管失败组), 拔管成功36例(拔管成功组)。注意到插管方面的起因。比较两组拔管失败的患者相关危险因素。
结果:拔管失败组的体重指数(p = 0.034)明显高于对照组(p = 0.025)。先前插管超过48小时(p =0 .043)的患者更容易发生拔管失败。共病的存在并没有使患者面临统计上显著的拔管失败风险。
结论:体重指数高的患者、糖尿病患者和插管时间超过48小时的患者更易发生拔管失败。
