Complications of Airway Management in Very-Low-Birth-Weight Infants

Abstract: Objective: To define the incidence of complications of endotracheal intubation and the factors associated with these complications. Study Design: During a 22-month period, 227 intubated infants weighing <1,501 g were followed prospectively in a neonatal intensive care unit. Detailed records of events associated with airway management were kept after every intubation, in addition to clinical data. Results: Eleven infants (4.8%) developed respiratory stridor after extubation which was treated with either systemi… Show more

“…1,2 ETT position must be precise to reduce the incidence of complications including: atelectasis, hyperinflation of the right lung, pneumothorax, tracheal damage, unplanned extubation or postextubation stridor. 3,4 In 1979, Tochen originally described a simple calculation for determining the depth of ETT insertion. 5 The prediction equation for the estimated depth of insertion was 1.17 multiplied by the infant's weight (in kg) plus 5.58.…”

“…'Hospital C' postulated that intraoperative and postoperative management without endotracheal intubation would be feasible and would reduce the days of mechanical ventilation in this population. [3][4][5][6] The present study was undertaken as an analysis of all neonates who underwent ROP laser surgery in any of the three Intermountain Healthcare NICUs between January 2002 and March 2006. Among all those undergoing ROP surgery, we assessed the respiratory modality used the day before surgery, during surgery and for 3 days following surgery.…”

“…Estudos conduzidos nos anos 70 mostravam uma incidência de 3,8% a 8,3% 8,15,[22][23][24][25] . Aqueles realizados posteriormente mostraram ausência de estenose subglótica em algumas sé-ries 26,27 ou baixa incidência em outros estudos (0,4%-3,2%) 10,11,13,14,28,29 . Relatos com elevadas incidências dessa forma de lesão (12,8%-24,5%) são provavelmente decorrentes das características da população estudada (recém-nascidos de muito baixo peso ao nascimento) e pela maior sobrevida desses pacientes 9,12 .…”

“…Estudos baseados em avaliação endoscópica das lesões de via aérea em crianças submetidas à intubação endotraqueal têm enfocado a incidência de estenose subglótica provavelmente pela elevada morbidade associada (necessidade de traqueotomia, dilatação endoscópica ou cirurgia de reconstrução da laringe) [8][9][10][11][12][13] . No entanto, lesões graves como a estenose subglótica se desenvolvem a partir de lesões fundamentais como ulcerações e exposição de cartilagem.…”
