Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
Comparison of lateral and supine positions for tracheal extubation in children : A randomized clinical trial.
The lateral position is known to be advantageous for maintaining airway patency. This study compared the lateral and supine positions for tracheal extubation in pediatric patients when performing deep extubation. ⋯ In pediatric patients deep extubation in the lateral position improved SpO2 and reduced the incidence of stridor and laryngospasm in the early emergence period when compared to extubation in the supine position.
