Purpose: To minimize post-intubation laryngeal injury it is important to identify the factors that contribute to the development of these lesions. Previous literature has been inconsistent. This survey aims to investigate experts' opinions on the various factors associated with severe laryngeal injury following intubation in the pediatric population and to determine whether these opinions influence the treatment of patients with one or more of these factors.

Article Synopsis
- The study aims to evaluate factors linked to laryngeal injury following endotracheal intubation in children through a systematic review of existing literature.
- A total of 24 relevant articles covering 15,520 patients were analyzed, revealing varying incidences of post-extubation complications; confirmed factors like sedation level and gastro-esophageal reflux were identified, while other factors such as age and intubation duration had unclear associations.
- The findings highlight the limited quality of evidence on the discussed factors, aiming to clarify their roles in laryngeal injury risk in pediatric patients post-intubation.
Objectives: Digital endoscopes are connected to a video processor that applies various operations to process the image. One of those operations is edge enhancement that sharpens the image. The purpose of this study was to (1) quantify the level of edge enhancement, (2) measure the effect on sharpness and image noise, and (3) study the influence of edge enhancement on image quality perceived by ENT professionals.

Objective: Indications for tracheostomy have changed over the last decades and clinical outcome varies depending on the indication for tracheostomy. By gaining more insight in the characteristics and outcome of the tracheostomized pediatric population, clinical care can be improved and a better individual prognosis can be given. Therefore, we studied the outcome of our pediatric tracheostomy population in relation to the primary indication over the last 16 years.

Our objective was to determine the incidence of post-extubation stridor and their clinical consequences in children within a tertiary referral center and to identify contributing factors.
Methods: 150 children, aged 0-16 years, intubated for more than 24 h were prospectively enrolled until discharge of the hospital.
