 Background:We retrospectively reviewed the clinical utility of direct fiberoptic evaluation of the airway before extubation in nine patients who had undergone anterior cervical decompression and fusion.

 Methods:Mean age at surgery was 52 years (33-80). An anterior approach alone was used in seven patients, and a combined anteroposterior approach in two patients. Single-level fusion was performed in four of the nine patients, and multilevel fusion was performed in the other five patients.

 Outcome:All patients remained intubated overnight. Extubation was performed on postoperative day (POD) 1 or later, when fiberoptic evaluation confirmed healing of reactive tracheal and vocal cord swelling. Seven patients were extubated on POD 1, but extubation was delayed in the other two patients, one of whom had undergone single-level fusion, because of upper airway swelling. None of the nine patients required reintubation or tracheostomy.

 Conclusion:Based on the results of this study we recommend fiberoptic confirmation of adequate healing of reactive tracheal and vocal cord swelling before extubation of patients who have undergone anterior cervical spine surgery.
