Background: We conducted a retrospective chart review to determine the frequency of stridor and contributing factors after the use of Microcuff® and uncuffed tracheal tubes (TTs) in neonates.
Methods: All neonates in our neonatal intensive care unit whose airways were intubated between May 2011 and June 2012 were included. Data were collected from the neonatal intensive care unit database and from the electronic anesthesia record.
