PAPod 584 - How Pediatric Hospitals Cut Fatal Extubations by 60% — 12,500 Lives Saved
Episode 949
Saturday, 7 February, 2026

This episode tells the real-life story of how the Society for Patient Safety and a network of children’s hospitals used learning teams, proactive safety huddles, and simulations to reduce unplanned extubations in neonatal ICUs — cutting rates by 60% and preventing thousands of deaths. It covers the data, the frontline-led solutions, the narrowing of racial disparities, and an invitation to a small conference in Santa Fe to learn and share improvement practices.
