Abstract T P397: Predictors Of Extubation Success In Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients

Background: Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) often necessitate intubation and mechanical ventilation (MV) for reasons unique to this patient population. Prolonged intubation and MV have several disadvantages. Conventional extubation criteria focused on respiratory parameters are insufficient to guide extubation in these patients. . Objective: To identify relevant clinical and neuroanatomical markers of successful extubation in AIS patients requiring...
