Abstract

Laryngospasm is one of the common causes of airway obstruction in the postextubation period. Though definitive predisposing or causative factors can usually be identified, it is also known to occur without any apparent provocation.[1] Absence of a specific etiology makes treatment difficult in such cases. We describe our management of a patient who had repeated episodes of unanticipated postextubation laryngospasm. The various treatment options that can be used for this recurring condition are described.
