This glottic reflex to inspiration and expiration causes hypercarbia and hypoxia and may be life-threatening.,Current methods,De

5、after extubation, patients extubated deep had significantly higher oxyhemoglobin saturations than patients extubated awake (SpO2 97.6% +/- 3.7% to 99.8% +/- 0.5% vs 93.7% +/- 4.8% to 98.6% +/- 2.5%). Oxygen saturation values were similar thereafter. The incidence of postoperative laryngospasm, exces
