Response - NO
Brief Summary  
At the time of extubation, patients often buck or move about violently, raising concerns that
they are experiencing discomfort during extubation. If patients are extubated too quickly out of
concern for patient discomfort without adequate evaluation, there is a risk of apnoea,
aspiration and laryngospasm during extubation.In our study we are investigating the frequency
of recall of discomfort on extubation. A low frequency of recall would suggest that extubation
need not be rushed and may be performed on the basis of clinical judgement, despite apparent
patient discomfort.
