This study aim to analyze the incidence and causes and factors associated with reintubation after planned extubation.<strong></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Methods:</span></strong> The retrospective descriptive and analytical study, incidents of reintubation after planned extubation were extracted from the KKU Anesthesiology Risk Management Information System (KKU ARMIS) database conducted between January 1, 2010, and December 31, 2010 and analyzed by using descriptive statistics. Reintubation was defined as intubation after the extubation for the initial endotracheal intubation, for general anesthesia, during 24 hour from the postoperative period.</p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Results:</span></strong> The incidence of reintubation within 24 hr were 16.9: 10,000. The most common cause was patient factor, immediate postoperative period (41%). The common problems of respiratory system were airway obstruction and pulmonary edema. Inappropriate preoperative evaluation and inappropriate decision making of personnel was the most contributing factor for reintubation.  Factor minimizing incident were increase vigilance during operation<strong> </strong>and<strong> </strong>experience hand.</p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Conclusions:</span></strong> The most common cause of reintubation was patient factor and respiratory problems. Quality assurance with completely preoperative evaluation and vigilance tended to minimize the incidents.</p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Keywords:</span></strong> General anesthesia, reintubation within 24 hr;<strong> </strong>incidence, risk factors</p>}, number={4}, journal={Srinagarind Medical Journal}, author={Uppan, Kanchana and Jeerararuensak, Winita and Chau-In, Waraporn and Chairatana, Laksanawadee and Promkhote, Parinda}, year={2013}, month={Nov.}, pages={325–332} }
