Intubation and extubation (Endotracheal tube (ETT) removal) represent a critically important phase of anesthesia care where multiple potentially catastrophic complications can occur. Therefore modern practice has focused on limiting adverse events during these stages. Intubation is accompanied with an algorithm designed to help providers navigate challenging airways. While extubation generally carries guidelines and practical measure to help guide extubation readiness, deep vs awake ETT removal is often left to provider discretion.
