An overview is presented of some of the factors that should be considered before extubating a patient who has undergone an oral and maxillofacial surgical procedure. A discussion of the possible preoperative assessment of the patient, complications of intubation, effects of narcotics and muscle relaxants, assessment of airway edema, and criteria for extubation is included.
