extubation

They should be given information on what to expect during the process; some may elect to remain out of the room during extubation.

Two methods of withdrawal have been described: immediate extubation and terminal weaning.

Also, extubation may be difficult or impossible, thus requiring prolonged airway provision (intubation).

The spasm can happen often without any provocation, but tends to occur after tracheal extubation.

Variability of respiratory parameters and extubation readiness in ventilated neonates.

Family members and others who are present should be warned that some movements may occur after extubation, even in patients who are brain dead.

These neuromuscular blockers should be discontinued before extubation.

After extubation, it might be necessary to maintain positive airway pressure by appropriate flows of a humidified oxygen/air mixture.

Compared to midazolam, dexmedetomidine was similarly effective for sedation, but shortened the time to extubation.

Commonly used in croup (laryngotracheobronchitis) and when stridor is present after removal of an endotracheal tube (extubation).

In these patients, PAP ventilation can prevent the need for tracheal intubation, or allow earlier extubation.

A Short trial of endotracheal CPAP to predict extubation success.

At extubation the oxygen/air was switched off and the pulse rate, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation were subsequently recorded every 10 minutes for one hour.

A patient who survives may be placed on a T-piece; this may be left in place, or extubation may proceed.

The method of placement of a tracheal tube is intubation and the removal of the tube extubation.

(A major PPC can be defined as a postoperative pneumonia, respiratory failure, or the need for reintubation after extubation at the end of an anesthetic.

An RSBI score of less than 100 indicating a relatively low respiratory rate compared to tidal volume is generally considered as an indication of extubation.

Decannulation is the permanent removal of a cannula (extubation), especially of a tracheostomy cannula, once a physician determines it is no longer needed for breathing.

At the start of intubation and at extubation a marker button on the Holter monitor was pressed to show accurately the beginning and end of the gastroscopy.

Despite the fact that the case had been prolonged the patient had awakened very quickly and extubation had been carried out almost immediately after the final skin suture had been tied.

Guidelines suggest that these agents should never be introduced when the ventilator is being withdrawn; in general, when patients have been receiving paralytic agents, these agents should be withdrawn before extubation.

Another type of endotracheal tube has a small second lumen opening above the inflatable cuff, which can be used for suction of the nasopharngeal area and above the cuff to aid extubation (removal).

Originally, there was no inflatable cuff, the tube was packed either side of the sub-glottis by two green anaesthetic swabs, with ribbon gauze sewn on by hand to aid extraction at extubation of the endotracheal tube.

However, for long-term sedation, lorazepam is preferred due to its long duration of action, and propofol has advantages over midazolam when used in the ICU for sedation, such as shorter weaning time and earlier tracheal extubation.

Inspiratory Force Meter Boehringer Inspiratory Force Meters with memory have been used in predicting the efficacy of neonate extubation and identifying the number of maneuvers required to accurately measure maximal inspiratory mouth pressure in patients with chronic airflow obstruction.
