Clinical Trial 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.

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.

Intervention

Procedure:
• Endotracheal extubation with suctioning
General anestheisa is maintained with an endotracheal tube. At the end of anesthesia, the endotracheal tube is removed by applying suctioning.
• Endotracheal extubation with positive pressure
General anesthesia is maintained with an endotracheal tube. At the end of anesthesia, the endotracheal tube is removed by applying positive pressure.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Endotracheal extubation	The intervention will try to identify which technique is better to extubate the patient after general anesthesia.; In literature/anesthesia practice there is no scale, parameter or questionnaire to indicate extubation. However the aim is universally accepted that is to extubate the patient when he/she is hemodynamically stable and able to maintain a patent airway and oxygen saturation while spontaneously breathing and awake.; In my trial, half the number of participants will be extubated by applying suctioning to the endotracheal tube and the remaining will be extubated by applying positive pressure to the endotracheal tube at the end of general anesthesia.; Patients heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, the need for clearing secretions from the airway, and the need for supplemental oxygen at the time of extubation and 3 minutes after extubation will be compared to identify which technique is better in terms of patients airway management.	3 months
Secondary	Pulse	Heart rate in beats per minute	3 months
Secondary	Oxygen saturation	Oxygen saturation in percentage	3 months
Secondary	Blood pressure	Blood pressure in millimetre of mercury	3 months
Secondary	Supplemental oxygen	Supplemental oxygen in liters per min	3 months
Secondary	Airway suctioning	Number of times suctioning required to clear airway secretions	3 months
