Risk factors of laryngeal injuries in extubated critical pediatric patients

Abstract Background The larynx in children is unique compared to adults. This makes the more prone trauma during intubation. Under sedation and frequent repositioning of tube are recorded as risk factors for laryngeal injury. We examined 40 critically ill first 24 h after extubation estimate frequency analyze using classification system acute injury (CALI). Results post-extubation stridor patients had a higher diagnosis inborn errors metabolism, longer duration ventilation, hospital stay, moderate severe involvement glottic subglottic area, intubation attempts, than 60 s intubate Regression analysis severity has shown that development ventilator-associated pneumonia carried highest (OR 32.111 95% CI 5.660 182.176), followed by time elapsed till seconds 11.836, 2.889 48.490), number attempts 10.8, 2.433 47.847), pneumothorax 10.231, 1.12 93.3). Conclusion incidence intubation-related pediatric ICU high varies widely from mild, non-symptomatic moderate, could be predicted any following: prolonged days pneumothorax, multiple changes, or difficult
