Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare respiratory complications during extubation in two positions: conventional recovery position versus a modified recovery position with a 10-degree left tilt and head-down.
- Conducted at Combined Military Hospital in Pakistan from April 2022 to March 2023, 200 elective nose and throat surgery patients were divided into two groups, excluding those with certain respiratory conditions or multiple intubation attempts.
- Results showed significantly fewer airway complications in the modified recovery position group (6%) compared to the conventional group (18%), suggesting that the modified position is safer for extubation.
