Evaluation of “no touch” extubation technique on airway-related complications during emergence from general anesthesia

Abstract

The results of the present study showed that awake "no touch" technique technique for tracheal extubation produces less airway-related complications, as well as minimal hemodynamic response during emergence from general anesthesia in nasal and paranasal surgeries. It could be a safe alternative for tracheal extubation in airway surgery.
