Abstract
- The article reports on a study on the steroids and risk factors for airway compromise in multilevel cervical corpectomy patients. The method used was to monitor patients undergoing 2- or 3-level anterior cervical corpectomy procedures with anterior strut graft reconstruction. The study concludes that intravenous dexamethasone is not recommended for the prevention of delayed extubation after multilevel anterior cervical corpectomy and strut grafting.
