Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  cuff leak   The cuff leak test, which depicts a leak around the endotracheal tube with the cuff deflated will predict the presence of PES. A lower amount of cuff leaks indicates a population at higher risk of developing PES. The cuff leak test will be performed as described below. The throat is cleared of all airway secretions. The ventilator is set to assist-control.The inspiratory and expiratory tidal volumes will be recorded and then the cuff is deflated. The expiratory tidal volumes will be recorded over the next six breathing cycles. The six expiratory volumes will be recorded and average the three lowest values is calculated. The cuff leak is the difference between the inspiratory tidal volume and the average expiratory tidal volume. All of the patients will be extubated when the cuff leak volume exceeds more than 110 ml and when they pass weaning trial.  
Intervention  laryngeal ultrasound with air column width   Laryngeal ultrasound will be performed by an intensivist with an experience of performing more than 100 laryngeal US using a 5.0 MHz linear probe to measure air column width (defined as the width of air passed through the vocal cords (VC) as determined by ultrasound (US)). Air column width will be measured with the probe placed on the cricothyroid membrane with a transverse view of the larynx and patient positioned supine with a neck hyperextended and ETT cuff deflated.

Brief Summary  

Post-extubation stridor (PES) is the presence of inspiratory noise which develops post-extubation indicating narrowing of the airway with an incidence of 3-30%.[1]PES results in airway obstruction and respiratory distress which further accentuates hemodynamic instability and cardiac failure.[2] Stridor also results in negative pressure pulmonary oedema.[3] Risk Factors associated with PES includes older age, female gender, size of the endotracheal tube, prolonged intubation period, traumatic intubation and multiple intubation attempts. All of these can increase the mortality and morbidity, prolong the length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay and mechanical ventilation.Prior detection of PES prevents the need for reintubation, facilitates early treatment and recovery. The diagnosis of PES is critical as these patients can benefit from attentive monitoring and targeted therapy. Nonetheless, there is no consensus on how to identify patients at risk of PES. Cuff leak test demonstrates leak around the endotracheal tube when the cuff is deflated and is one of the simplest method proposed for predicting the occurrence of post extubation stridor. Ultrasound is bedside noninvasive tool in visualizing upper airway. The Air Column Width Difference predicts the occurrence of post extubation stridor.[4] The lacunae in the previous studies done to predict post extubation stridor had fewer patients in stridor group resulting in lower sensitivity.
