Part of the strategies for the prevention of post-extubation failure and management of stridor or laryngeal edema is the use of steroids. The discrepancy between the time, the dos, the patient and the type of steroid forces to create a strategy that standardizes its use. This review focuses on identify patients who benefit from the use of steroids, type of steroid that should be uses, timing and correct dose.
