Overview

This retrospective cohort study compares cuffed and uncuffed endotracheal tubes in neonates, suggesting similar airway outcomes.

Key Points

  • This study aims to compare airway complications between cuffed and uncuffed endotracheal tubes in neonates.
  • Single-center retrospective cohort study conducted from January 2019 to December 2021.
  • Included all term neonates intubated with cuffed ETT and uncuffed ETT as controls.
  • Assessed unplanned extubations, reintubation episodes, and other complications.
  • 25 neonates were intubated with cuffed ETT, compared to 53 with uncuffed ETT.
  • No significant differences were found in airway complications between the two groups.
  • No unplanned extubations or cases of subglottic stenosis were observed in either group.
