The Role of laryngeal ultrasound in comparison with cuff leak test in prediction of post extubation stridor

Sara Mohamed Eltaher;

Abstract


ABSTRACT
Background: Endotracheal intubation is commonly used in (ICU) for different causes. However, intubation/extubation may lead to the development of complications such as post-extubation stridor (PES), one of the most frequent causes of reintubation, prolonged mechanical ventilation, and increased morbidity in the ICU patients. PES and upper-airway obstruction are multifactorial in etiology and can occur as a result of laryngotracheal edema, intubation trauma, excessive cuff pressure with mucosal ulceration, and prolonged intubation with secondary inflammation and granuloma formation.
