Abstract
After extubation, restricted mouth opening, reduced salivary flow, and dysphonia were common and prolonged in recovery. Reduced efficiency of vocal cord closure persisted at 14Â days postextubation. The extent and duration of these sequelae remind clinicians to screen for them up to 2Â weeks after extubation.
