Background. This project was devised to estimate the incidence of major complications of airway management duringanaesthesia in the UK and to study these events.
Methods. Reports of major airway management complications during anaesthesia (death, brain damage, emergency surgicalairway, unanticipated intensive care unit admission) were collected from all National Health Service hospitals for 1 yr. Anexpert panel assessed inclusion criteria, outcome, and airway management. A matched concurrent census estimated adenominator of 2.9 million general anaesthetics annually.
Results. Of 184 reports meeting inclusion criteria, 133 related to general anaesthesia: 46 events per million general anaesthetics[95% confidence interval (CI) 38–54] or one per 22 000 (95% CI 1 per 26–18 000). Anaesthesia events led to 16 deaths andthree episodes of persistent brain damage: a mortality rate of 5.6 per million general anaesthetics (95% CI 2.8–8.3): one per180 000 (95% CI 1 per 352–120 000). These estimates assume that all such cases were captured. Rates of death and braindamage for different airway devices (facemask, supraglottic airway, tracheal tube) varied little. Airway management wasconsidered good in 19% of assessable anaesthesia cases. Elements of care were judged poor in three-quarters: in only threedeaths was airway management considered exclusively good.
Conclusions. Although these data suggest the incidence of death and brain damage from airway management during generalanaesthesia is low, statistical analysis of the distribution of reports suggests as few as 25% of relevant incidents may have beenreported. It therefore provides an indication of the lower limit for incidence of such complications. The review of airwaymanagement indicates that in a majority of cases, there is ‘room for improvement’.

Airway management is fundamental to safe anaestheticpractice and in most circumstances is uncomplicated, but ithas been recognized for many years that complications ofairway management occur with serious consequences.1 2
Good-quality information on the frequency and nature ofmajor adverse events related to anaesthetic airway manage-ment is incomplete. Litigation-based analyses add someinsight into the severity of such events and have drivenchanges in practice.3 – 6 These indicate that airway and respir-atory complications leading to litigation are a smallproportion of all claims against anaesthetists but are associ-ated with notably high rates of death and brain damage,high rates of ‘less than appropriate care’, and high costs.
Owing to the complexity of the relationship between compli-cations and litigation, and the lack of denominators, they donot add information about prevalence or incidence of com-plications.7 8 Analyses of critical incident reports in the UKhave also added useful information, but these reportslargely focus on minor incidents and are likely to miss a con-siderable proportion of major events.9
Knowledge of the incidence of such complications shouldbe an important component of clinical decision-making, riskmanagement, and the consent processes. Information onserious and common complications should guide the specialtyinto appropriate areas for research by demonstrating areas inwhich our current practice or performance can improve.

complicated another primary event: eight of these patientsdied and two suffered brain damage.
Primary airway problem during anaesthesia
Problems with tracheal intubation were the most frequentlyrecorded primary airway problem (Fig. 1). Difficult ordelayed intubation, failed intubation, and ‘can’t intubatecan’t ventilate’ (CICV) accounted for 39% of all events andevents during anaesthesia. Aspiration then extubation pro-blems followed tracheal intubation in frequency of reportedcomplications. For anaesthesia events, aspiration, CICV, andproblems during use of a supraglottic airway, iatrogenicairway trauma, and failed mask ventilation were the nextmost prominent complications.
Primary airway device during anaesthesia
For anaesthesia events, the airway in use or intended formaintenance was: tracheal tube of any sort (91), supraglotticairway device (35), and facemask (7) (Table 6).
Incidence of incidents
The total number of events reported in relation to anaes-thesia was 133. The number of anaesthetics administeredin the same period derived from the census phase ofNAP4 was 2.9 million (2 872 600),12 giving a minimum inci-dence (point estimate) of 133/2 872 600: i.e. 46 per millionor approximately one per 22 000 general anaesthetics.Using binomial statistics, we can estimate an upper 95%confidence limit of 54 per million and a lower CI of 38per million (although as the actual event rate in our
population cannot be lower than that we observed, somemight omit this value).
Using the same methodology, we can calculate the pointestimate and CIs for incidence of death (or death and braindamage) from an airway event during general anaesthesia(Table 7). The census data also provided estimates of fre-quency of use of airway devices (tracheal tube, supraglotticairway device, and facemask) and estimates of the risk ofevents and poor outcomes with these devices can bederived (Table 7).
Case-mix
Aspiration of gastric contents
Aspiration of gastric contents was the primary event in 23anaesthesia cases, two emergency department cases, andno ICU cases. It was the most common cause of death inthe anaesthesia group accounting for eight deaths and twocases of brain damage. Aspiration occurred most frequentlyin patients with risk factors (.90%), at induction of anaes-thesia or during airway instrumentation (61%). Plannedairway management was as follows: laryngeal mask 13,i-gel 1, tracheal tube 8, and none 1. Aspiration occurredbefore airway instrumentation in five cases and duringairway placement in two. Two cases had clear indicationsfor rapid sequence induction (RSI) and in several others, itsuse could be argued, one case occurred during RSI laryngo-scopy. Management of the cases was judged good in four,mixed in seven, and poor in eight, with managementjudged poor in four deaths. Aspiration also complicated

Emergency Tracheal Intubation: Complications Associatedwith Repeated Laryngoscopic AttemptsThomas C. Mort, MD
Department of Anesthesiology, Hartford Hospital, University of Connecticut School of Medicine
Repeated conventional tracheal intubation attemptsmay contribute to patient morbidity. Critically-ill pa-tients (n ! 2833) suffering from cardiovascular, pulmo-nary, metabolic, neurologic, or trauma-related deterio-ration were entered into an emergency intubationquality improvement database. This practice analysiswas evaluated for airway and hemodynamic-relatedcomplications based on a set of defined variables thatwere correlated to the number of attempts required tosuccessfully intubate the trachea outside the operatingroom. There was a significant increase in the rate ofairway-related complications as the number of laryngo-scopic attempts increased (!2 versus "2 attempts): hy-poxemia (11.8% versus 70%), regurgitation of gastric
contents (1.9% versus 22%), aspiration of gastric con-tents (0.8% versus 13%) bradycardia (1.6% versus 21%),and cardiac arrest (0.7% versus 11%; P # 0.001). Al-though predictable, this analysis provides data thatconfirm the number of laryngoscopic attempts is asso-ciated with the incidence of airway and hemodynamicadverse events. These data support the recommenda-tion of the ASA Task Force on the Management of theDifficult Airway to limit laryngoscopic attempts tothree in lieu of the considerable patient injury that mayoccur.
(Anesth Analg 2004;99:607–13)
Emergency airway management can be fraughtwith complications related to hemodynamic al-terations and difficulty with oxygenation and
ventilation (1,2). Esophageal intubation, pneumo-thorax, and pulmonary aspiration, as well as othermajor complications, were reported by Schwartz etal. (1) to occur relatively frequently during emer-gency tracheal intubation outside of the operatingroom (OR). However, the severity and frequency ofcomplications were not correlated with the numberof intubation attempts. Another anesthesia-basedstudy of emergency intubation reported that 1 in 10airway encounters required 3 or more intubationattempts and suggested that multiple attempts wereassociated with an increased incidence of hypox-emia, regurgitation, and esophageal intubation (2).Our emergency department (ED) colleagues havepublished many studies, but none has quantified anassociation of increasing complications with repeti-tive laryngoscopic attempts (3– 8). The ASA TaskForce on the Management of the Difficult Airway
has made a recommendation, based on the consult-ant’s consensus opinion, that an alternative methodshould be pursued to secure the airway when diffi-culty with intubation is encountered (9,10). As dif-ficulty arises with securing the airway and the num-ber of laryngoscopic attempts increases, theoccurrence of hypoxemia, esophageal intubation, re-gurgitation, airway trauma, and cardiac arrestshould be more common (11–15). Despite the con-sequences of repetitive conventional intubation at-tempts, there is little published evidence directlysupporting the ASA’s recommendation to limit con-ventional intubation attempts to three (multiple)with subsequent use of accessory airway devices oralternative techniques (tracheal tube introducer[bougie], laryngeal mask airway (Laryngeal MaskCompany, Henley-on-Thames, UK), Combitube®,[Kendall-Sheridan, Argyle, NY] fiberoptic bron-choscopy, and cricothyrotomy/tracheotomy). Thisquality improvement database was analyzed: (a) todetermine the incidence of airway and hemody-namic complications during emergency tracheal in-tubation outside the OR based on a predeterminedset of defined criteria and (b) to determine if there isany relationship between the number of conven-tional intubation attempts and the incidence ofcomplications.

AbstractBackground Previously active in the mid-1990s, the
Canadian Airway Focus Group (CAFG) studied theunanticipated difficult airway and made recommendations
on management in a 1998 publication. The CAFG has
since reconvened to examine more recent scientificliterature on airway management. The Focus Group’s
mandate for this article was to arrive at updated practice
recommendations for management of the unconscious/induced patient in whom difficult or failed tracheal
intubation is encountered.
Methods Nineteen clinicians with backgrounds inanesthesia, emergency medicine, and intensive care
joined this iteration of the CAFG. Each member was
assigned topics and conducted reviews of Medline,EMBASE, and Cochrane databases. Results were
presented and discussed during multiple teleconferences
and two face-to-face meetings. When appropriate,
evidence- or consensus-based recommendations were
made together with assigned levels of evidence modelled
after previously published criteria.Conclusions The clinician must be aware of the potential
for harm to the patient that can occur with multiple
attempts at tracheal intubation. This likelihood can beminimized by moving early from an unsuccessful primary
intubation technique to an alternative ‘‘Plan B’’ technique
if oxygenation by face mask or ventilation using asupraglottic device is non-problematic. Irrespective of the
technique(s) used, failure to achieve successful tracheal
intubation in a maximum of three attempts defines failedtracheal intubation and signals the need to engage an exit
strategy. Failure to oxygenate by face mask or supraglottic
device ventilation occurring in conjunction with failedtracheal intubation defines a failed oxygenation, ‘‘cannot
intubate, cannot oxygenate’’ situation. Cricothyrotomy
must then be undertaken without delay, although if notalready tried, an expedited and concurrent attempt can be
made to place a supraglottic device.

Dans cet article, le CAFG s’est donne pour mission
d’emettre des recommandations visant la prise en chargedu patient inconscient ou anesthesie qui presente des
difficultes d’intubation significatives.
Methode Dix-neuf cliniciens ayant une formation enanesthesie, en medecine d’urgence ou en soins intensifs
composent le CAFG actuel. Les participants ont passe en
revue des sujets precis en consultant les bases de donneesMedline, EMBASE et Cochrane. Les resultats de ces revues

sur un consensus ont ete emises. Le niveau de confiance
attribue a ces recommandations a aussi ete defini.Conclusion Le clinicien doit avoir conscience des lesions
qu’il peut infliger lors de tentatives multiples d’intubation
tracheale. Il est possible d’eviter de telles lesions enabandonnant rapidement une technique d’intubation
infructueuse afin d’opter pour une methode alternative
(ou ‘plan B’) a condition que l’oxygenation par masquefacial ou par l’utilisation d’un dispositif supraglottique
s’avere possible. Nonobstant la ou les techniques choisies,
un maximum de trois tentatives infructueuses mene a laconclusion qu’il s’agit d’un echec d’intubation et devrait
inciter le clinicien a adopter une strategie de retrait. Une
situation dans laquelle il est impossible de proceder al’oxygenation du patient a l’aide d’un masque facial, d’un
dispositif supraglottique ou de l’intubation endotracheale
est qualifiee de scenario cannot intubate, cannot ventilate.Il est alors imperatif de proceder sans delai a une
cricothyrotomie, a moins que l’insertion d’un dispositif
supraglottique n’ait ete tentee. Celle-ci peut alors etreeffectuee rapidement et parallelement a la realisation de la
cricothyrotomie.
What other statements of recommendation areavailable on this topic?
In 1998, Canadian recommendations were published onmanagement of the unanticipated difficult airway. More
recent national recommendations and guidelines on
difficult airway management have been published in theUSA, the United Kingdom, and other western European
countries.
Why were these recommendations developed?
Canadian recommendations were overdue for an update.
Since the last review, many new devices useful in difficult
airway management have been introduced. In addition,
the Anesthesia Closed Claims Project and other
observational studies have highlighted potential areas forimprovement in management of the difficult and failed
airway.
How do these statements differ from existingrecommendations?These statements reflect current evidence and thinking on
an appropriate response to difficult airway managementencountered in the unconscious/induced patient. The
importance of engaging an exit strategy after a limited
number of attempts at tracheal intubation is emphasized, asis a simplified response to a failed oxygenation, ‘‘cannot
intubate, cannot oxygenate’’ situation.
Why do these statements differ from existingrecommendations?These statements differ from existing recommendations in
order to simplify decision-making when failed trachealintubation or failed oxygenation is encountered in the
unconscious/induced patient.

ABSTRACT
Background: Difficult intubation management algorithmshave proven efficacy in operating rooms but have rarely beenassessed in a prehospital emergency setting. We undertook aprospective evaluation of a simple prehospital difficult intu-bation algorithm.Methods: All of our prehospital emergency physicians andnurse anesthetists were asked to adhere to a simple algorithmin all cases of impossible laryngoscope-assisted tracheal intu-bation. They received a short refresher course and training inthe use of the gum elastic bougie (GEB) and the intubatinglaryngeal mask airway (ILMA), which were techniques to beused as a first and a second step, respectively. In cases ofdifficult ventilation with arterial desaturation, IMLA was tobe used first. Cricothyroidotomy was the ultimate rescuetechnique when ventilation through ILMA failed. Patientcharacteristics, adherence to the algorithm, management ef-ficacy, and early complications were recorded (August 2005–December 2009).
Results: An alternative technique to secure the airway wasneeded in 160 of 2,674 (6%) patients undergoing intuba-tion. Three instances of nonadherence to the algorithm wererecorded. GEB was used first in 152 patients and was suc-cessful in 115. ILMA was used first in 8 patients and secondin the 37 GEB-assisted intubation failures. Forty-five pa-tients were successfully mask-ventilated, and 42 were blindlyintubated before reaching the hospital. Cricothyroidotomywas used successfully in a patient with severe upper airwayobstruction as a result of pharyngeal neoplasia. Early intuba-tion-related complications occurred in 52% difficult cases.Conclusion: Adherence to a simple algorithm using GEB,ILMA, and cricothyroidotomy solved all difficult intubationcases occurring in a prehospital emergency setting.
U NANTICIPATED difficult intubation is a com-mon, potentially life-threatening problem in several
settings (operating room, intensive care unit, and prehos-pital). Several experts and national anesthesiology societ-ies have proposed algorithms using different techniques

ABSTRACT
Background: Difficult intubation management algorithmshave proven efficacy in operating rooms but have rarely beenassessed in a prehospital emergency setting. We undertook aprospective evaluation of a simple prehospital difficult intu-bation algorithm.Methods: All of our prehospital emergency physicians andnurse anesthetists were asked to adhere to a simple algorithmin all cases of impossible laryngoscope-assisted tracheal intu-bation. They received a short refresher course and training inthe use of the gum elastic bougie (GEB) and the intubatinglaryngeal mask airway (ILMA), which were techniques to beused as a first and a second step, respectively. In cases ofdifficult ventilation with arterial desaturation, IMLA was tobe used first. Cricothyroidotomy was the ultimate rescuetechnique when ventilation through ILMA failed. Patientcharacteristics, adherence to the algorithm, management ef-ficacy, and early complications were recorded (August 2005–December 2009).
Results: An alternative technique to secure the airway wasneeded in 160 of 2,674 (6%) patients undergoing intuba-tion. Three instances of nonadherence to the algorithm wererecorded. GEB was used first in 152 patients and was suc-cessful in 115. ILMA was used first in 8 patients and secondin the 37 GEB-assisted intubation failures. Forty-five pa-tients were successfully mask-ventilated, and 42 were blindlyintubated before reaching the hospital. Cricothyroidotomywas used successfully in a patient with severe upper airwayobstruction as a result of pharyngeal neoplasia. Early intuba-tion-related complications occurred in 52% difficult cases.Conclusion: Adherence to a simple algorithm using GEB,ILMA, and cricothyroidotomy solved all difficult intubationcases occurring in a prehospital emergency setting.
U NANTICIPATED difficult intubation is a com-mon, potentially life-threatening problem in several
settings (operating room, intensive care unit, and prehos-pital). Several experts and national anesthesiology societ-ies have proposed algorithms using different techniques

resort to an alternative intubation technique in 6% of pa-tients, whereas in the operating room, this was the 1% in ourprevious study.1 There are several reasons for this higherincidence: operators are not anesthesiologists with specificskills in airway management, patients may be in vital distress,overall circumstances are more hostile (e.g., patient lying onthe ground, cramped space, frequent presence of blood orgastric fluid in the pharynx, or uncooperative patient), andarterial oxygen desaturation occurs more often.12
For all of these reasons, we had to adapt our operatingroom algorithm to the prehospital setting. We recom-mended GEB after just one intubation attempt under directlaryngoscopy for a class IV laryngeal view, according to theCormack and Lehane classification. In addition, we recom-mended cricothyroidotomy rather than percutaneous tran-stracheal jet ventilation in cannot intubate, cannot ventilatesituations. Although transtracheal jet ventilation is a highlyeffective rescue technique when prompt surgical tracheot-
omy is possible, it is unrealistic in a prehospital setting. Wethought that a technique such as cricothyroidotomy, allow-ing inspiration and expiration through the same tube, wasmore appropriate because of the time that may elapse be-tween tracheal access and arrival at the hospital. In fact, weused cricothyroidotomy only once in a patient with severerespiratory distress as a result of a malignancy obstructing theupper airway and in whom direct tracheal access was man-datory for rescue oxygenation.
The techniques used in steps 1 and 2 of our algorithm(GEB and ILMA) do not take long to learn.16,17 A shortlearning curve is essential when operators perform few intu-bations. Our emergency physicians intubate, on average, 14patients per year, whereas anesthesiologists intubate severalhundreds. Despite their lesser experience, their success ratesfor GEB and ILMA use were similar to those reported inoperating room studies. Minimal initial skill was required fornonanesthesiologist training to apply these alternative tech-niques within the framework of our algorithm. We have topoint out that our algorithm was applied by senior operatorsand was regularly brought up at daily staff meetings to all thestaff. We believe that these two keys points enhanced theadherence to the program and resulted in the success rate weobserved with our algorithm.
Our intubation-related complications rate was high(52%). Most of our patients underwent more than two in-tubation attempts, and thus were exposed to a high risk ofarterial oxygen desaturation. The most common complica-tions we encountered were esophageal intubation (36%) andarterial oxygen desaturation (26%). Mort18,19 reported up to

Abstract Objective: To deter-mined whether the implementation ofan intubation management protocolleads to the reduction of intubation-related complications in the intensivecare unit (ICU). Design: Two-phase, prospective, multicenter con-trolled study. Setting: Threemedical-surgical ICUs in two uni-versity hospitals. Patients: Twohundred three consecutive ICUpatients required 244 intubations.Interventions: All intubations per-formed during two consecutivephases (a 6-month quality controlphase followed by a 6-month inter-vention phase based on theimplementation of an ICU intubationbundle management protocol) wereevaluated. The ten bundle compo-nents were: preoxygenation withnoninvasive positive pressure venti-lation, presence of two operators,rapid sequence induction, cricoidpressure, capnography, protectiveventilation, fluid loading, preparationand early administration of sedationand vasopressor use if needed.
Measurements and main results:The primary end points were theincidence of life-threatening compli-cations occurring within 60 min afterintubation (cardiac arrest or death,severe cardiovascular collapse andhypoxemia). Other complications(mild to moderate) were also evalu-ated. Baseline characteristics,including demographic data and rea-son for intubation (mainly acuterespiratory failure), were similar inthe two phases. The intubation pro-cedure in the intervention phase(n = 121) was associated with sig-nificant decreases in both life-threatening complications (21 vs.34%, p = 0.03) and other complica-tions (9 vs. 21%, p = 0.01) comparedto the control phase (n = 123). Con-clusions: The implementation of anintubation management protocol canreduce immediate severe life-threat-ening complications associated withintubation of ICU patients.

Introduction
Endotracheal intubation, which is one of the most com-monly performed procedures in the intensive care unit(ICU) [1–4], is associated with a high incidence ofcomplications (25 to 39%) because of the precarioushemodynamic and respiratory status of critically ill patients[1, 2, 5–8]. In anesthesia and pre-hospital practices, specificprocedures [i.e., preoxygenation, rapid sequence intubation(RSI) using the combined administration of a sedative andmuscle relaxant agent, capnography to check the correcttube placement, etc.] are included in guidelines and arerecommended to improve intubation safety [9–12]. Suchstandardized recommendations are lacking in ICU practice.Contrary to airway management performed in the operatingroom and pre-hospital conditions, few studies designed toimprove intubation safety in the ICU have been published[13]. We recently showed that non-invasive positive pres-sure ventilation (NIPPV) improved preoxygenation ofobese patients before intubation both in the ICU [1] and inthe operating room [14].
We hypothesized that associating preoxygenationNIPPV with other procedures that have been shown toimprove intubation safety according to pre-hospital andanesthesia literature may decrease the incidence of imme-diate complications after intubation in the ICU. Employinga group of evidence-based treatments related to a diseaseprocess, instituted together over a specific timeframe andtermed ‘‘a care bundle,’’ is expected to result in betteroutcomes than when the treatments are executed individ-ually. For instance, when ‘‘the care bundle’’ is implementedas rapidly as possible, it improves the management of out-of-hospital respiratory distress [15], sedation and weaningfrom the ventilator [16, 17], as well as severe sepsis [18, 19]and surgical procedures [20]. We therefore conducted aprospective before-after study to determine whether theimplementation of an intubation bundle therapy results in areduction of intubation-related complications in the ICU.
Patients and methods
The present study was performed in three ICUs. Data fromall ICU tracheal intubations were collected and analyzed.We excluded those performed for cardiac arrest. Theprotocol was approved by the local ethics committee.
Study design (see ESM)
Control phase
During a 6-month control phase, intubation procedureswere performed without the use of a protocol by theclinicians in charge of the patient.
Interphase
Prior to beginning enrollment in the intervention phase,we developed an intubation care bundle managementsystem based on a review of the ICU airway literature[1, 2, 4, 9, 11, 16, 21, 22] (Table 1). During a 4-weekphase, all physicians, residents and nurses received formaleducation and clinical training for the processes andprocedures related to the ten-point bundle management.
Intervention phase
During the 6-month intervention phase, the recommendedintubation procedure was to conform to the bundle man-agement detailed in Table 1 (see ESM).
Measurements and definitions of complications
We documented baseline characteristics, reason foradmission to ICU and status of the following before intu-bation: reason for intubation, heart rate, systolic arterialblood pressure, use of vasopressive drugs and pulse oxygensaturation level (SpO2). During the intubation procedure,we documented drug administration and the operator status(airway expert vs. non expert physician) [7].
We then recorded complications and categorized assevere life-threatening or mild to moderate complications(see ESM and Table 2) that occurred during the intubation

were significant differences between the two phases for sixof the ten processes, i.e., all that were recorded during thecontrol phase (Table 5). Mean pressure support leveldelivered during the NIPPV for preoxygenation was sim-ilar for the two phases (10 ± 4 cmH2O).
Intubation-related complications
The intubation procedure in the intervention phase(n = 121) was associated both with significantly lowerlife-threatening complications (21 vs. 34%, p = 0.03)(Fig. 1) and mild to moderate complications (9 vs. 21%,p = 0.01) (Fig. 2) than those in the control phase(n = 123). Severe hypoxemia and cardiovascular col-lapse, which were the main life-threatening complicationsafter intubation, were reduced by half in the interventiongroup compared to the control group (Fig. 1).
We reported 12 esophageal intubations (6 in eachgroup); 3 of them were complicated by severe hypoxemia(all in the control group, without capnography). Amongthe four esophageal intubations diagnosed by capnogra-phy, none of the patients developed severe hypoxemia,but two resulted in hemodynamic collapse. We did notfind any significant change in the rate of complications,whether capnography was used or not. Difficult intubationwas not different between the control and the interventiongroups.
Patient outcomes
There was no difference in length of mechanical venti-lation [7 (2–14) vs. 8 (4–15) days, p = 0.65], ICU

SummaryTracheal extubation is a high-risk phase of anaesthesia. The majority of problems that occur during extubation andemergence are of a minor nature, but a small and significant number may result in injury or death. The need for astrategy incorporating extubation is mentioned in several international airway management guidelines, but the subject isnot discussed in detail, and the emphasis has been on extubation of the patient with a difficult airway. The DifficultAirway Society has developed guidelines for the safe management of tracheal extubation in adult peri-operative practice.The guidelines discuss the problems arising during extubation and recovery and promote a strategic, stepwise approachto extubation. They emphasise the importance of planning and preparation, and include practical techniques for use inclinical practice and recommendations for post-extubation care.................................................................................................................................................................

What other guideline statements are available on this topic?The need for a strategy incorporating extubation is mentioned in several international airway management guidelines: theCanadian Airway Focus Group’s 1998 recommendations for the management of the unanticipated difficult airway; the 2003American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) difficult airway guidelines; the Societa Italiana Anaesthesia AnalgesiaRianimazione Terapia Intensiva (SIAARTI) recommendations for airway control and difficult airway management 2005. TheDifficult Airway Society (DAS) difficult intubation guidelines of 2004 mention the need for a pre-formulated extubation plan,but no details are given.
Why was this guideline developed?Complications are common at extubation and during recovery and may result in significant morbidity and mortality. Althoughextubation is addressed in some airway management guidelines, it has not received the same attention as intubation.
How does this statement differ from existing guidelines?These guidelines recommend that an extubation strategy should be developed before the start of anaesthesia. A stepwiseapproach is used to aid risk stratification, the practical management of routine and at-risk situations, and to highlight theimportance of continued postextubation care. Flowcharts have been produced to summarise this philosophy. The guidelinesare applicable to adult peri-operative practice; they do not address paediatric or critical care patients.
Why does this statement differ from existing guidelines?These guidelines explore the pathophysiology of problems arising during extubation and emergence. They address theimportance of planning extubation to avoid difficulties. They provide a structured framework around which extubation can bemanaged and taught and offer practical strategies for use in clinical practice.

Step 3: perform extubationStep 3 involves the actual performance of extubation.
General considerations. Any extubation technique usedshould ensure minimum interruption in oxygen deliveryto the patient’s lungs. The following general considera-tions are relevant to extubation for both the ‘low-risk’and the ‘at-risk’ groups:
Building oxygen stores (pre-oxygenation): the peri-operative anatomical and physiological changes de-scribed above compromise gas exchange, and makepre-oxygenation before extubation vital. As for induc-tion of anaesthesia, the aim of pre-oxygenation beforeextubation is to maximise pulmonary oxygen stores byraising the FEO2 above 0.9, or as close to the FIO2 aspossible [78]. Although studies have shown that an FIO2
of 1.0 increases atelectasis, the clinical significance ofthis has yet to be determined [79, 80]. At extubation, thepriority is to maximise oxygen stores to continue oxygenuptake during apnoea, and therefore pre-oxygenationwith a FIO2 of 1.0 is recommended [81–85].
Patient position: there is no evidence to support auniversal patient position for extubation. There is anincreasing trend towards extubating in a head-up(reverse Trendelenburg) or semi-recumbent position.The head-up tilt is especially useful in the obese
population as it confers a mechanical advantage torespiration and provides more familiar conditions inwhich to monitor and manage the airway. A left-lateral,head-down position has traditionally been used for thenon-fasted patient [77, 86].
Suction: the soft tissues of the oropharynx are at riskof trauma if suction is not applied under direct vision[87, 88], ideally using a laryngoscope, particularly ifthere are concerns about oropharyngeal soiling fromsecretions, blood or surgical debris. Laryngoscopyshould be carried out with the patient in an adequatelydeep plane of anaesthesia, but may need to be repeated.Special vigilance is necessary if there is blood in theairway, as NAP4 highlighted the danger of the ‘coroner’sclot’, where aspiration of blood can lead to airwayobstruction and death [89]. Suction of the lower airwayusing endobronchial catheters, together with aspirationof gastric tubes, may also be necessary.
Alveolar recruitment manoeuvres: patientsundergoing anaesthesia develop atelectasis. Alveolarrecruitment manoeuvres, such as sustained positiveend-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and vital capacitybreaths, may temporarily reverse atelectasis, but havenot been shown to provide any benefit in the post-operative period [81, 90].
