Predicting Post Extubation Stridor After Maxillomandibular Fixation

• Status: Not yet recruiting
• Trial end date: 2023-12-31
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

Endotracheal intubation can induce laryngotracheal injury which results in narrowing of the airway due to edema of the glottis. This can increase the risk of development of post-extubation stridor (PES)

• Phase: N/A
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No

Details

• Lead Sponsor: Mansoura University
• Treatments: Budesonide
