Brief Summary   Patients can be awake or deeply sedated when having tracheal extubation. Both approaches have their advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage of deep extubation is aspiration, upper airway obstruction and laryngospasm. The advantages of head elevated lateral position are fewer episodes of desaturation, decreased upper airway obstruction and less chance of aspiration. Several harmful respiratory side effects and derangements in hemodynamic parameters may occur during emergence from general anaesthesia. Pediatric populations experience these occurrences more frequently. Cough is one of the more frequent side effects of the respiratory system, particularly in children.In this study we compare standard awake technique of extubation in supine position with  "Head elevated No touch technique in lateral position" method of extubation,where patients are kept in a lateral position with 15-degree head elevation. No Touch refers to avoidance of any tactile stimulation until the spontaneous opening of eyes occurs. We expect that the “Head elevated No touch technique” of extubation in lateral position would be a better technique of extubation in the prevention of respiratory side effects like choking, laryngospasm, posterior tongue drop, Breath holding and hypoxemia (Spo2 < 94%) compared to “Standard Awake technique” of extubation in supine position in the paediatric population, thus providing a better alternative method extubation in the paediatric population (less than five years of age).

Parameters that will be recorded in this study are following:

1.Incidence of moderate to severe cough using the Modified Minogue scale.
2.Incidence of other respiratory adverse effects like choking, laryngospasm, posterior tongue drop, Breath holding and hypoxemia (Spo2 < 94%).
3.The changes in hemodynamic parameters (Mean Blood Pressure, Heart Rate and Respiratory Rate).
4.Sedation agitation score after extubation.
