Airway Ultrasound as a Predictor for Postextubation Stridor in Anterior Cervical Spine Surgery

NCT03764904 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 30

Last updated 2018-12-06

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

literature on use of the ultrasound (US) in extubation decisions in cervical spine surgery is scarce.The aim of this study will be to evaluate the utility of US as an aid for decision making for extubation in elective cervical spine surgery (anterior approach) operations and as a predictor for postextubation stridor in these operations

Conditions

  • Postextubation Stridor

Interventions

RADIATION

Airway Ultrasound

Laryngeal US will be performed with a 12 megahertz (MHz) linear probe attached to the ultrasound device. With the probe placed transversely on the midline of the anterior neck over the cricothyroid membrane.
