What factors should be considered prior to extubation?
• airway-related (history & evaluation)
• non-airway-related (respiratory, neurological/behavioural, trajectory/stability)

Love this!!
If in doubt leave it in.
Also communicate clearly with ICU what you saw.
I have drawn on the ICU whiteboard my intubation view.
Be brave and extubate I say.
We do tricky ones in theatre.
Respect the airway.

What processes occur after intubation and alter anatomical risk?
• airway trauma
• evolving airway pathology
• dependent positioning
• fluid shifts
• impaired airway access
