Abstract: Infants and young children who were intubated and mechanically ventilated occasionally present with stridor in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) after extubation. In severe cases, respiratory distress and oxygen desaturation accompany the stridor. Prophylactic measures and prompt management help to prevent post-extubation stridor and ameliorate the signs and symptoms should it occur.
