Posted May 29, 20204 yr Hello everyone, we have started seeing a push from anesthesia towards using microcuffed ETT at delivery Our CVICU service uses these ETT for their patients and don't have any adverse outcomes but they are only intubated for a short time Do any of you have experience on this matter? The literature I find is from anesthesia papers and seems to be favorable but refers to the perioperative period:http://www3.pedsanesthesia.org/newsletters/2018summer/procon-pro.html Thank you Getting with the Times.docx
May 30, 20204 yr Yes our anesthesiologists routinely use cuffed tubes for any procedures not restricted to CDH We didn’t find any severe adverse events though sometimes mild post extubation stridor, also cultural acceptance in NICU community is an issue. Naveed
May 30, 20204 yr Author Thank you I realized that my post was not clear the question should read”do any of you intubate the CDH babies with micro cuffed ETT from the delivery and do you see any adverse outcomes when you have used them for a longer period” that would imply following the minimal leak guidelines thank you all so much
