Summary

In ICU, ventilatory weaning failure is common, accounting for up to 25% of extubations. These failures are largely due to swallowing disorders and laryngeal edema. Edema prevalence in ICU varies between 4 and 37%. Post-extubation stridor is a clinical sign of upper airway obstruction and may require urgent reintubation, which is associated with increased patient length of stay, morbidity and mortality. Identifying patients at risk is critical, and the need for reliable tools to predict the occurence of laryngeal edema is still relevant.

Conditions

• Laryngeal Edema

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Ultrafast ultrasonography	Ultrasonography of the neck, patient in supine position, neck hyper-extended. Three different scanning planes containing several landmarks. Carried out in the 12h prior extubation.
