Abstract:
All anesthesiologists, at some stage, have experienced problems after tracheal extubation, the frequency of which probably exceeds those relating to tracheal intubation. Whereas the anesthetic literature is replete with studies that the problems associated with tracheal intubation, it is unusual to find discussion concerning those following extubation. This review attempts to redress this imbalance.
