Corticosteroids for prevention of postextubation laryngeal edema in adults.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of prophylactic corticosteroid therapy in preventing postextubation laryngeal edema (PELE) and the need for reintubation in adults. DATA SOURCES Literature was accessed through MEDLINE (1966-January 2008) and the Cochrane Library using the terms laryngeal edema, airway obstruction, postextubation stridor, intubation, glucocorticoids, and corticost...

Re-expansion pulmonary oedema may develop if diagnosis and treatment of pneumothorax are delayed. This condition may be fatal if inappropriately managed.
متن کامل12-h pretreatment with methylprednisolone versus placebo for prevention of postextubation laryngeal oedema: a randomised double-blind trial.
BACKGROUND The efficacy of corticosteroids in reducing the incidence of postextubation laryngeal oedema is controversial. We aimed to test our hypothesis that methylprednisolone started 12 h before a planned extubation could prevent postextubation laryngeal oedema. METHODS We did a placebo-controlled, double-blind multicentre trial in 761 adults in intensive-care units. Patients who were vent...
متن کاملTrials of corticosteroids to prevent postextubation airway complications.
We identified three randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that addressed whether preextubation steroid administration reduces postextubation complications in children. The pooled analysis of primary extubation in children demonstrated significantly less stridor (relative risk [RR], 0.57; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.40 to 0.81) and a trend toward less reintubation (RR, 0.50; 95% CI, 0.02 to 13...
