[PECULIARITIES OF TRACHEAL EXTUBATION IN PATIENTS, OPERATED ON FOR PHLEGMON OF THE NECK].
The results of anesthesiological support of 75 patients, operated on for phlegmon of the neck, were presented. An acute respiratory insufficiency rate, occurring after tracheal extubation, necessitating an emergent tracheostomy conduction, have constituted 13.5%. Preliminary conduction of diagnostic direct laryngoscopy and the "air source" test permits to predict a noncomplicated tracheal extubation trustworthy. Tracheal extubation after the operation must be conducted not earlier than in 10 - 72 h.
