Endotracheal Extubation With Suctioning Versus Positive Pressure in Children After General Anaesthesia.
- Conditions
- Endotracheal Extubation
- Registration Number
- NCT05489809
- Lead Sponsor
- Pakistan Navy Station Shifa Hospital
- Brief 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.
- Detailed 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.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Endotracheal extubation 3 months 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.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Blood pressure 3 months Blood pressure in millimetre of mercury
Oxygen saturation 3 months Oxygen saturation in percentage
Airway suctioning 3 months Number of times suctioning required to clear airway secretions
Supplemental oxygen 3 months Supplemental oxygen in liters per min
Pulse 3 months Heart rate in beats per minute
