Cuffed Tracheal Tubes in Children - Myths and Department of Anaesthesia University Children s Hospital Zurich Switzerland

Myths Cuffed Tracheal Tubes In Children Are A Major Reason For Airway Injurys

Reasons for Airway Injury in Children Too Large Endotracheal Tube Traumatic Intubation Repeated Intubation Attempts Repeated Tracheal Tube Exchange

Reasons for Airway Injury in Children Prolonged Intubation Inadequate Tube Fixation (oral/nasal) Inadequate Sedation Insufficient Tissue Perfusion Local Infection

Free Air Cuff Hyperinflation Free air inflation results in variable cuff pressure with hyperinflation in 39% of cases. Free inflation of the tracheal tube cuff, controlled only by the palpation of the pilot balloon, is not reliable and results in extremely variable (and sometimes very high) initial cuff pressures in children.

Microcuff Pediatric Tracheal Tube High Volume - Low Pressure Cuff Sealing Characteristics

Myths Smaller Diameters in Cuffed Tracheal Tubes Increase Work of Breathing and Cause Difficulties With Tracheal Suctioning

Smaller Diameters Not A Problem During IPPV or Pressure Support Rare Suctioning During Anaesthesia Problems In The ICU Problems In Tubes Sizes ID 3.0 and 3.5 mm

Myths Cuffed Tracheal Tubes Cause Increased Costs

Increased Costs 2-44 Times More Expensive Than Uncuffed Tubes Reduced Overall Costs by: Less Tube Exchange ( up to 28 % ) Less Fresh Gas Flow Consumption Less Volatile Anaesthetic Consumption No Enviromental Pollution (Health!) Other Advantages (ETCO2 Monitoring, Oxygenation, Loss of Time by Tube Exchange,... )

Myths There Is Limited Experience With Cuffed Tracheal Tubes In Small Children

Experience Large Experience from Single Centers Paris Zurich Lund Pittsburgh Limited Multi-Centre Experience Limited Randomised Prospective Studies

Myths Uncuffed Tracheal Tubes Are The GOLD Standard For Children Below 8 Years Of Age

Uncuffed Tracheal Tubes Becomes The OLD Standard For Children Below 8 Years Of Age

Conclusions Cuffed Tracheal Tubes Can Be Safely Used in Children: Air Leak Control (<20 cm H 2 0) Cuff Pressure Control (<20 cm H 2 0) Adequate Designed Cuffed Tubes
