Tracheal extubation.
Tracheal extubation in both the critical care and anesthesia setting is not only an important milestone for patient recovery, but also a procedure that carries a considerable risk of complication or failure. Mechanical ventilation is associated with significant complications that are time-dependent in nature, with a longer duration of intubation resulting in a higher incidence of complications,...
متن کاملDifficult tracheal extubation.
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. We recommend the routine intraoperative testing fo...
متن کاملIntramuscular cimeti- dine and ranitidine as prophylaxis against gastric aspiration
Preoperative cimetidine 300 mg or ranitidh~e in 50 and 100 mg doses were administered intramuscularly to 120 patients in a randomized double-blind study. The volume and pH of gastric aspirate samples obtained after tracheal intubation and before extabation were measured. The pH of gastric aspirate was higher Jbllowing ranitidine 100 mg than ranitidine 50 mg or cimetidine 300 mg at both intubati...
متن کاملTracheal granuloma 7 years after extubation
Tracheal granuloma can cause severe stenosis long after extubation. When a patient with a history of endobronchial intubation has an intratracheal tumour, we should consider the possibility of this condition.
متن کاملNegative pressure post-tracheal extubation alveolar hemorrhage.
N egative pressure pulmonary edema is an uncommon complication of extubation of the trachea (>0.1%) mostly caused by laryngospasm (1). Upper airway obstruction from glottis closure leads to marked inspiratory efforts, which generate very negative intrathoracic pressure. This may cause pulmonary edema (1,2) and, rarely, hemoptysis (3,4). This report is the first to document both bronchoscopic an...
