Bailey’s Maneuver With an I-gel®: A Smooth Extubation in an At-Risk Cardiac Patient

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Each extubation requires careful monitoring due to the potential for complications such as increased airway reflexes and iatrogenic injuries. Here, we describe a case involving a Whipple's procedure for carcinoma of the head of the pancreas in a 71-year-old high-risk cardiac patient. The patient successfully underwent extubation using Bailey's maneuver, in conjunction with an I-gel® supraglottic airway device (SAD), without any exaggeration of the hemodynamic response. This technique allowed for a controlled and smooth extubation, ensuring cardiovascular stability in this high-risk case.
