WebDec 3, 2024 · Laryngeal edema post endotracheal extubation is the most likely cause of stridor in an adult patient in the ICU. Stridor can indicate impending respiratory failure and should be treated as a medical emergency. Other than re-intubation, treatments for post-extubation stridor include dexamethasone, heliox, and racemic epinephrine via nebulizer. Webs analyzed for incidences of post extubation airway problems in patients who received dexamethasone and compared with those who did not receive any steroid perioperatively. Three hundred and thirty one patients were considered out of which 226 received intravenous dex-amethasone preoperatively, and 105 did not receive any steroids peri … simon university boston

Websignificant reductions in post extubation stridor and the need for reintubation (with doses ranging from 0.15mg/kg to 0.5mg/kg.)(6) A 2016 study in adults showed low dose dexamethasone regimes were equally as effective in preventing post extubation stridor as higher dose regimes.(7) WebThis review found that giving dexamethasone (a corticosteroid drug) around the time of extubation can help prevent swelling in the baby's throat that might require reinsertion of the tube. However, the review found that there are adverse effects of dexamethasone. The benefits only outweigh the risks for babies at high risk of complication (such ... The absence of a cuff leak increases the likelihood of reintubation (positive likelihood ratio ~4) whereas the presence of a cuff leak reduces the likelihood of reintubation (negative likelihood ratio ~0.5)(Girard 2024). This affects the post-test probability of reintubation as follows (1): The ideal extubation failure rate is … See more This isn't addressed in the guidelines, but still merits discussion. There is no uniform definition of what constitutes a cuff leak. The following are … See more The guidelines don't describe management of post-extubation stridor, probably because there isn't any high-quality evidence available on this topic (nor is there ever likely to be) (3).
