A extubation method of preventing cleft lip and palate hypoxemia after general anesthesia in children / 实用口腔医学杂志

ABSTRACT

150 cases of pediatric surgery with cleft lip and palate were randomly divided into two groupsDuring extubation of group A retired the pipe to the throat,when stable vital signs appeared,pulse oxygen saturation(SpO2) sustained more than 95% in 5 min or when patients were not tolerant,pulled it out.Group B pulled out the catheter directly if there was a sign of extubation.The oxygen saturation was observed in two groups before extubation,5 and 10 min after extubation.Retiring to the throat and then pulling out is an effective way to prevent tongue falling and occurrence of hypoxemia.
