Study objective |
To elucidate the association between delayed extubation, postoperative complications, and episode-based resource utilization.
Design |
Retrospective Propensity-Matched Cohort Study.
Setting |
Single Large Academic Medical Center.
Patients |
The computerized anesthetic records of 17,223 patients undergoing spine surgery from January 2006 through November 2016 were reviewed for this study. The records of 11,421 patients met inclusion criteria for final analysis, with 527 subjects who had delayed extubation following their procedure.
Interventions |
Delayed extubation, defined as patients not extubated prior to leaving the operating room.
Measurements |
Computerized anesthetic records of spine surgery patients were analyzed retrospectively. Corresponding Medicare Severity Diagnosis Related Group numbers (MS-DRGs) were then identified, as well as associated lengths of stay and costs of care. We compared hospital-acquired International Classification of Diseases-9 (ICD-9) and ICD-10 postoperative complication codes linked to each record to assess differences in outcome.
Main results |
Increasing medical and surgical complexity is associated with delayed extubation. Using propensity score matching, delayed extubation was independently associated with a higher likelihood of any postoperative complication (Odds Ratio [OR]: 1.79; 95% Confidence Interval [CI]: 1.23–2.61); major complications (OR: 2.22; 95% CI: 1.31–3.76); prolonged length of hospital stay (Hazard Ratio [HR]: 0.82 (0.72, 0.95), p = 0.006); prolonged Intensive Care Unit (ICU) stay (HR: 0.68 (0.61, 0.76), p < 0.001); and were less likely to be discharged home (OR: 1.40 (1.02, 1.92), p = 0.036). Propensity score matching demonstrated that anesthesiologist handoff was not independently associated with any of the examined adverse outcomes.
Conclusions |
Delayed extubation after spine surgery was associated with a statistically significant increased incidence of postoperative complications as well as increased hospital episode-based resource utilization in the form of increased hospital length of stay, ICU length of stay, post-acute care at a facility, and higher cost of hospitalization. Although anesthesiologist handoff was associated with delayed extubation, it was not independently associated with postoperative complications when propensity score matching was applied.
