Summary

Comparing extubation of endotracheal tube in children after general anaesthesia by applying suctioning to the endotracheal tube versus applying positive pressure to the endotracheal tube.

Detailed description

Extubation after general anaesthesia involves removal of the endotracheal tube. This is done by either applying suctioning or applying positive pressure to the endotracheal tube. My study aims at identifying which technique is superior to the other.
