Predictability of unplanned extubations [PDF]
IEEE-EMBS International Conference on Biomedical and Health Informatics (BHI), 2014 Acute life threatening events such as cardiac/respiratory arrests are often predictable in adults and children. However critical events such as unplanned extubations are considered as not predictable. This paper seeks to evaluate the ability of automated prediction systems based on feature space embedding and time series methods to predict unplanned ...

Spontaneous migration of central venous catheter tip following extubation
Saudi Journal of Anaesthesia, 2014 Migration of the tip of central venous catheters is not an uncommon event and the mechanism for this is not clear. Increased intrathoracic pressure due to coughing, sneezing or weight lifting, changing the body position or physical movements such as ...

Difficulty in extubation [PDF]
Anaesthesia, 1992 Summary Difficulties in removing the tracheal tube from the trachea are relatively uncommon. We report here a case of difficult extubation which was precipitated by pulling off the pilot balloon and valve assembly in order to deflate the cuff.

Extubation failure in the elderly [PDF]
Respiratory Medicine, 2004 To determine the causes, risk factors and complications of planned extubation failure of critically ill elderly patients, we conducted a prospective study of 175 consecutive patients (> or = 70 years old) admitted with respiratory failure. Thirty-six (21%) failed extubation within 72 h after planned extubation.

Difficult tracheal extubation [PDF]
Canadian Journal of Anaesthesia, 1989 We describe a case of nasotracheal tube fixation with a screw. A second case is described in which a broken drill bit was found to impinge on the wall but not penetrate into the lumen of a nasotracheal tube. Possible sequelae of this complication include airway leak, aspiration, tube obstruction, and trauma from attempts at forceful extubation.

An Extubation Protocol for Angioedema [PDF]
OTO Open, 2017 Angioedema—nonpitting edema of the mucous membranes and skin—most commonly occurs as a complication from the use of angiotensin‐converting enzyme inhibitors. At our institution, the otolaryngology department has incorporated the use of the endotracheal tube cuff‐leak test and bedside direct laryngoscopy to aid in timing for extubation of angioedema ...
