Brief summary
Prospectively evaluate the predictive value of individual pre-specified clinical extubation criteria for extubation success
Detailed description
Perform a prospective observational study to evaluate routine criteria commonly used to extubate elderly patients in the operating room after non-cardiac and non-thoracic surgery to ultimately reduce the incidence of near-term reintubation and by extension other respiratory complications
