ABSTRACT

Objective: To explore the risk factors of delayed extubation after expanded thymectomy in patients with myasthenia gravis. Methods: Patients with myasthenia gravis who underwent expanded thymectomy from May 2021 to January 2024 and were admitted to Intensive Care Unit (ICU) after surgery were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided in to the delayed extubation and successful extubation according to the length of mechanical ventilation whether exceeding than 48 hours. Multivariable logistics regression was used to explore the risk factors for delayed extubation after expanded thymectomy in patients with myasthenia gravis. Results: A total of 95 patients were included.15 (15.8%) of whom were delayed extubation. Compared with the successful extubation patients, the length of mechanical ventilation (94.0 h vs. 15.5 h, P
