Management of tracheal extubation guidelines

The Difficult Airway Society has developed guidelines (2011) for the safe management of tracheal extubation in adult perioperative practice. The guidelines discuss the problems arising during extubation and recovery and promote a strategic, stepwise approach to extubation. They emphasise the importance of planning and preparation, and include practical techniques for use in clinical practice and recommendations for post-extubation care.
