View clinical trials related to Laryngeal Edema.
Filter by: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.
- For patient in intensive care unit, extubation failure is defined as the necessity of early reintubation after scheduled extubation, with Increased morbidity and mortality, so it seems important to quickly identify patients with high risk of post-extubation acute respiratory failure. - Major post-extubation laryngeal edema is one of extubation failure causes, and its incidence vary in literature from 4 to 37%. - We can't currently predict arising of a major post-extubation laryngeal edema. However, a recent pilot study showed that laryngeal ultrasonography could help to identify patients with high risk of post-extubation stridor, measuring ultrasonic leak volume and cuff-deflated air-column width, of which we propose to assess diagnostic performance.
