As surgery concludes, a plan must be in place regarding the conditions for tracheal extubation (Table 42-13: Causes of Delayed Emergence from Anesthesia in Children).

  1. The train-of-four twitch response should be assessed, and if at least one twitch is present, neuromuscular blockade should be antagonized.
  2. There are very few surgical or medical indications to remove the airway during a deep level of anesthesia.
