Laryngeal Edema Assessment by Cuff Leak Test and Ultrasound in ICU Patients and Its Relationship With Weaning Success
Starting soon
Conditions studied: Laryngeal Edema
In brief
This study evaluates laryngeal edema in ICU patients during weaning from mechanical ventilation. It compares the cuff leak test and ultrasound-based laryngeal air column measurements in predicting weaning success. Ultrasound offers a non-invasive and real-time alternative for airway assessment. The study also examines post-extubation complications such as stridor, sore throat, dysphonia, and dysphagia.
