A number of factors can help to identify patients who are at greatest risk for post extubation UAO. Three randomized controlled trials demonstrate that prophylactic corticosteroids decrease the risk for postextubation UAO and probably the need for re-intubation. Extubation failure the need for re-intubation is associated with increased intensive care unit and hospital mortality increased length of stay in the intensive care unit and hospital greater need for tracheostomy and for long-term acute care and increased costs. Underlying severity of illness premorbid health status and complications directly associated with re-intubation fail to explain the adverse outcomes seen with extubation failure. Clinical deterioration between the time of extubation and the re-establishment of ventilatory support may provide the best explanation. Therefore preventing extubation failure has the potential to improve outcome. The study reported by Lee and coworkers 1 is one of a series of recent investigations examining whether corticosteroids can prevent postextubation upper airway obstruction UAO which is a common cause of extubation failure. Intubation and the endotracheal tube ETT may cause laryngotracheal injury resulting in inflammation .
