  • * A 70-year-old woman with diabetes presented with altered mental status due to diabetic ketoacidosis and pneumonia, was intubated for airway protection, but developed complications after extubation that led to cardiopulmonary arrest.
  • * After resuscitation and further evaluation, her stridor was linked to tracheal injury caused by HSV-1, confirmed through bronchoscopy and biopsy, leading to successful antiviral treatment and eventual recovery following

Introduction: In children, respiratory distress due to upper airway obstruction (UAO) is a common complication of extubation. The quantitative cuff-leak test (qtCLT) is a simple, rapid and non-invasive test that has not been extensively studied in children. The objective of the ongoing study whose protocol is reported here is to investigate how well the qtCLT predicts UAO-related postextubation respiratory distress in paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) patients.

June 2024

Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Erasmus Medical Center, Sophia Children's Hospital, Room SP 1421a, Dr Molewaterplein 60, 3015 GJ, Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

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.
