This study evaluates laryngeal edema in ICU patients during weaning from mechanical ventilation. It compares the cuff leak test and ultrasound-based laryngeal air column measurements in predicting weaning success. Ultrasound offers a non-invasive and real-time alternative for airway assessment. The study also examines post-extubation complications such as stridor, sore throat, dysphonia, and dysphagia.
Patients over 18 years of age
Patients who have given their voluntary consent
Patients under 18 years of age
Patients with a history of oral cavity surgery such as direct laryngoscopy and biopsy, microlaryngoscopic surgery, tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy, soft palate, oropharynx, hypopharynx, larynx and trachea,
Patients with a history of allergy, asthma, reflux, upper respiratory tract viral or fungal infections, and cancer surgery,
Patients who received radiotherapy to the neck region, or who had more than one intubation attempt in the previous year,
The study population will consist of intensive care patients over the age of 18 who are followed up with mechanical ventilation support and intubation for at least 24 hours at the Anesthesiology and Reanimation Clinic of Fatih Sultan Mehmet Training and Research Hospital and who have given informed consent by their guardian or parent.

Can pre-weaning laryngeal edema be used to predict weaning success?
To evaluate whether laryngeal edema measured prior to weaning can predict weaning success in mechanically ventilated ICU patients.
