ABSTRACT

Post-extubation failure is a high risk complication for patients in intensive care unit. Laryngeal edema and laryngeal stridor have been studied as causes of post-extubation failure. Part of the strategies for the prevention of post-extubation failure and management of stridor or laryngeal edema is the use of steroids. The discrepancy between the time, the dos, the patient and the type of steroid forces to create a strategy that standardizes its use. This review focuses on identify patients who benefit from the use of steroids, type of steroid that should be uses, timing and correct dose.
