Implications of tracheostomy after acute type A aortic dissection repair: Longitudinal outcomes and factors associated with patients requiring it
Tracheostomy is associated with significant longitudinal mortality and readmissions after ATAAD repair. The CART model highlights the relevance of reintubation for clinical decision making. Improved predictive models may enable early interventions, which could mitigate the effects of prolonged mechanical ventilation and improve resource utilization. Future research should focus on refining these models and assessing postoperative rehabilitation programs.
