Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Extubation Success

Maintenance of spontaneous ventilation without pathologic airway response such as laryngospasm. Ventilation monitored in a standard manner, using chest wall movement, capnography, reservoir bag movement, condensation of anesthetic mask and auscultation.

Time frame: Immediately after extubation

Secondary Outcomes

Anesthetic Vapor Concentration at Extubation

Percent of end-tidal sevoflurane at extubation

Time frame: At the time of extubation
