However, its safety across diverse congenital heart disease (CHD) populations remains insufficiently defined. To evaluate the feasibility, safety, and clinical outcomes of on-table extubation across a broad spectrum of corrective and palliative congenital heart surgeries in children. This retrospective multicenter study included 986 pediatric patients (aged 7 days to 16 years) who underwent on-table extubation after CHD surgery between 2019 and 2025. Patients were grouped as corrective (\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u2009632) or palliative (\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u2009354) cases. Primary outcomes were reintubation and mortality. Secondary outcomes included ICU and hospital stay durations, and incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). Overall reintubation and mortality rates were 5.78 and 1.22%, respectively. Corrective procedures demonstrated significantly lower reintubation (4.11%) and mortality (0.63%) compared to palliative surgeries (8.76 and 2.26%, respectively;\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.01 and\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.05). Highest complication rates were observed in HLHS (reintubation and mortality 40%) and aortopulmonary shunt (53.13 and 21.88%). In contrast, Glenn and Fontan procedures showed low reintubation (1.69, 2.91%) and minimal mortality. No cases of VAP were reported. Mean ICU and hospital stays were 3.69 and 9.7 days. Of the 57 reintubation events, 23 (40.4%) occurred within 6 h of extubation, suggesting extubation failure, while 34 (59.6%) occurred between 6 and 24 h, potentially due to secondary complications. Early reintubations (0\u20136 h) were more common in aortopulmonary shunt (17 cases) and coarctation\/IAA repair (3 cases), whereas later reintubations (6\u201324 h) predominated in ToF (5 cases), truncus arteriosus (4 cases), and TGA (3 cases). A moderate correlation was found between reintubation and mortality (Spearman\u2019s\n                    <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.45,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.01). On-table extubation is a safe and feasible strategy in pediatric cardiac surgery, particularly in corrective procedures and select single-ventricle palliation. However, caution is warranted in high-risk physiologies such as HLHS and shunt-dependent circulation. Careful perioperative evaluation remains essential for optimal outcomes.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00246-025-03920-7","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,18]],"date-time":"2025-06-18T14:08:25Z","timestamp":1750255705000},"page":"1459-1469","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Extubation on the Operating Table in Pediatric Cardiac Surgery: A Multicenter Analysis of 986 Patients"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"47","author":[{"given":"Mustafa Kemal","family":"Av\u015far","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yasin","family":"G\u00fczel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"\u0130brahim \u00d6zg\u00fcr","family":"\u00d6nsel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bar\u0131\u015f","family":"K\u0131rat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,18]]},"reference":[{"issue":"12","key":"3920_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1890","DOI":"10.1016\/S0735-1097(02)01886-7","volume":"39","author":"JI Hoffman","year":"2002","unstructured":"Hoffman JI, Kaplan S (2002) The incidence of congenital heart disease.
