To determine the endotracheal tube (ETT) size and presence of subglottic narrowing in children less than 1 year old with Pierre Robin Sequence (PRS).
We performed a retrospective review from 2005 to 2009 of infants with PRS who underwent diagnostic laryngoscopy (DL) and intubation.
Fifteen children with a median age of 25 days were reviewed. All patients, except one, were born full term. Subglottic narrowing was visualized in 5 patients (33%). 73% of all patients required an ETT size smaller than what is recommended by intubation guidelines in the literature in regards to normative data based on age and weight.
Infants with PRS may have a higher incidence of subglottic stenosis and require a smaller ETT compared to the normal population. This pilot study warrants a larger prospective investigation to validate these findings.
确定患有皮埃尔·罗宾序列征（PRS）的1岁以下儿童的气管插管（ETT）尺寸以及声门下狭窄情况。
我们对2005年至2009年间接受诊断性喉镜检查（DL）和插管的PRS婴儿进行了回顾性研究。
回顾了15名中位年龄为25天的儿童。除1名患者外，所有患者均为足月出生。5名患者（33%）可见声门下狭窄。所有患者中有73%所需的ETT尺寸小于文献中基于年龄和体重的插管指南所推荐的尺寸。
与正常人群相比，患有PRS的婴儿声门下狭窄的发生率可能更高，且需要更小尺寸的ETT。这项初步研究值得进行更大规模的前瞻性调查以验证这些发现。
