Abstract
Background: Tracheal extubation (TE) with concomitant suctioning is commonly used in clinical practice1. This technique allows for secretion removal but may induce a decrease in FRC responsible for hypoxemia. Sustained lung inflation with oxygen during TE has been proposed as an alternative technique in adults2. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of TE using suctioning (S) or inflation (I) technique on oxygen saturation (SpO2) in children.
