Summary
Tracheal extubation is a critical event in the anaesthetic management of patients undergoing
general anaesthesia with endotracheal intubation for elective procedures. It the state of art
to provide suitable conditions for smooth extubation and avoid coughing, bucking, straining
and/or laryngospasm. Several methods have been described to provide a smooth extubation,
including the use of remifentanil infusion, dexmedetomidine or fentanyl. Because of its
anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects and lack of respiratory depressant actions, magnesium
sulphate could be an attractive alternative.
