Abstract

DENIS CAMPS, Anastasia et al. Complications of the tracheal extubation in the early postoperative period of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. MEDISAN [online]. 2013, vol.17, n.6, pp.962-969. ISSN 1029-3019.

A descriptive and prospective study was carried out in 112 patients undergoing cholecystectomy by video laparoscopy under general orotracheal anesthesia in "Dr. Joaquín Castillo Duany" Teaching Clinical Surgical Hospital of Santiago de Cuba, from December 2010 to March 2011, to determine the incidence of complications associated with tracheal extubation in the early postoperative period. In the series patients of 31-45 years (43.7%) and tachycardia (19.6 %) as the most frequent complication prevailed. Also, age, obesity and smoking habit favored the occurrence of complications attributable to tracheal extubation, which were more frequent as the patient was more awake when performing it.

Keywords : tracheal extubation; video laparoscopy; early postoperative period; secondary health care.
