Upper Airway Obstruction After Extubation
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1971A 23-year-old woman, apparently in good health, suddenly became unconscious and cyanotic four days postpartum. Improvement followed endotracheal intubation, but immediate respiratory distress and asphyxia occurred after extubation. Autopsy revealed laryngeal edema and a follicular thyroid carcinoma encasing the trachea.

Extubation of the Difficult Airway
DeckerMed Anesthesiology, 2019It is well known that induction and intubation are periods associated with patient risk. Especially in the case of patients with known or suspected difficult airways, extubation may be associated with similar risk. Therefore, attempts at extubation must be well planned, and preparations for urgent or emergent intubation must be in order prior to ...

Prevalence, Risk Factors, and Outcomes of Airway Versus Non-Airway Pediatric Extubation Failure
Respiratory Care, 2023BACKGROUND: Pediatric extubation failure is associated with morbidity and mortality. The most common cause is upper-airway obstruction. Subglottic edema is common, but upper-airway obstruction can occur from the oral cavity to the trachea.

Safe extubation of a parturient using an airway exchange technique
International Journal of Obstetric Anesthesia, 2014The difficult obstetric airway is a well-recognised anaesthetic challenge but little emphasis is placed on the difficulty of performing a safe tracheal extubation. We report the use of an airway exchange technique to extubate a difficult obstetric airway and discuss the role of these techniques in the obstetric population.

Review article: Extubation of the difficult airway and extubation failure.
Anesthesia and analgesia, 2013Respiratory complications after tracheal extubation are associated with significant morbidity and mortality, suggesting that process improvements in this clinical area are needed. The decreased rate of respiratory adverse events occurring during tracheal intubation since the implementation of guidelines for difficult airway management supports the ...

Continuous Airway Access for the Difficult Extubation: The Efficacy of the Airway Exchange Catheter
Anesthesia & Analgesia, 2007The American Society of Anesthesiologists Task Force on the Management of the Difficult Airway regards the concept of an extubation strategy as a logical extension of the intubation process, although the literature does not provide a sufficient basis for evaluating the merits of an extubation strategy.

Difficult Airway Society guidelines for the management of tracheal extubation
Anaesthesia, 2013Tracheal extubation is a high-risk phase of anaesthesia. The majority of problems that occur during extubation and emergence are of a minor nature, but a small and significant number may result in injury or death. The need for a strategy incorporating extubation is mentioned in several international airway management guidelines, but the subject is not ...

Pediatric Anesthesia, 2001
Tracheal extubation of patients with a difficult airway represents a challenge to anaesthesiologists and intensive care physicians. While a variety of techniques designed to maintain access to the airway in case of the need for tracheal reintubation have been described in adults, no reports have been published in infants and young children. We describe

[Extubation of the difficult airway].
Revista espanola de anestesiologia y reanimacion, 2006Extubation, like intubation, is a critical moment in general anesthesia. There are no algorithms or ordered sequences of steps for extubation. Rather, the approach to take is strict observation of the patient in a setting equipped with monitors, material for managing the difficult airway, and experienced staff who should be able to establish access ...

Staged extubation to manage the airway after operations on the head and neck
British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2016Management of the airway after operations on the head and neck is potentially problematic. We describe leaving a guidewire in the trachea after successful extubation in two patients, to make reintubation easier if the airway was later compromised.
