Laryngeal ultrasound: a useful method in predicting post-extubation stridor. A pilot study.
The cuff-leak test was widely used for the prediction of post-extubation stridor, but controversial results limit its clinical application. The current study used real-time ultrasonography to evaluate the air-leak and hypothesised that the air-column width, measured by ultrasonography, may be correlated to the development of post-extubation stridor. From June 1, 2001 to March 1, 2002, a total o...
متن کاملPost-extubation stridor in Down's syndrome.
Laryngeal oedema, giving rise to stridor, is a recognized although rare complication following extubation of the trachea in children. It was our clinical impression that children with Down's syndrome, in particular, had a tendency to develop obstruction of the airway following operation. In Down's syndrome there are many abnormalities which affect the face and skull: those affect' ing the airwa...
متن کاملPost extubation stridor the call for objectivity.
In this issue of Indian Pediatrics, Sinha, et al.(1) have reported the results of a single center randomized controlled trial evaluating aerosolized L-epinephrine vs budesonide for the treatment of post-extubation stridor. While the benefits of intravenous corticosteroids on postextubation stridor are still unclear(2), the authors propose inhaled steroids may provide similar action to intraveno...
متن کاملLaryngeal Ultrasonography Versus Cuff Leak Test in Predicting Postextubation Stridor
INTRODUCTION Although cuff leak test has been proposed as a simple method of predicting the occurrence of postextubation stridor, cut-off point of cuff-leak volume substantially differs between previous studies. In addition, laryngeal ultrasonography including measurement of air column width could predict postextubation stridor. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the value of laryngea...
متن کاملClinical review: Post-extubation laryngeal edema and extubation failure in critically ill adult patients
Laryngeal edema is a frequent complication of intubation. It often presents shortly after extubation as post-extubation stridor and results from damage to the mucosa of the larynx. Mucosal damage is caused by pressure and ischemia resulting in an inflammatory response. Laryngeal edema may compromise the airway necessitating reintubation. Several studies show that a positive cuff leak test combi...
