Most pediatric anesthesiologists traditionally use uncuffed endotracheal tubes for children younger than 8 yr. Frequently cited reasons for this practice are: adding a cuff necessitates a smaller tube which increases airway resistance and work of breathing; cuffs increase the risk of airway mucosa injury; and cuffs are not necessary because

The cases are noteworthy because the endotracheal tube used in all three infants was a recently developed cuffed endotracheal tube called the Microcuff ® (Kimberly-Clark Roswell GA) which has been specifically designed for use in pediatric anesthesia. It differs from a traditional cuffed endotracheal tube in two major modifications: first the cuff is made of ultrathin (10 microns) …

The aim of the present study was to compare proper‐size cuffed ETT in children undergoing cardiac vs noncardiac surgeries. There is a controversy over using either smaller‐ or larger‐size endotracheal tubes (ETT) in children undergoing cardiac surgery and some anesthesiologists prefer to use ETT sizes different from the formula‐based sizes. The aim of the present study …

Ambient nitrous oxide concentration exceeded 25 parts per million in 37% of cases with uncuffed tubes and in 0% of cases with cuffed tubes (P < 0.001). Three patients in each group were treated for croup symptoms (1.2% cuffed; 1.3% uncuffed). Conclusions: Our formula for cuffed tube selection is appropriate for young children.

Introduction Only uncuffed tubes should be used in children below the age of 8-10 years. This is the traditional teaching in pediatric anesthesia and intensive care. The argument to use only uncuffed tracheal tubes in this group of children is based on the finding that the narrowest part of the airway is the cricoid. Introducing an uncuffed tracheal tube that just fits and seals within …

Nov 07 2019· In international PICU’s cuffed endotracheal tubes were used less frequently (52% vs 95%; p < 0.001) while the proportion of tracheal intubations for endotracheal tube change was greater (37% vs 11%; p < 0.001). The proportion of cuffed endotracheal tube use per PICU was inversely correlated with the rate of tube change (r = –0.67; p < 0.001).
