Traditionally, uncuffed endotracheal tubes (ETTs) have been used for artificial ventilation of infants and children. More recently, newer designed high-volume low-pressure (HVLP) cuffed ETTs are being used with increasing frequency in infants from birth. Considering that many paediatric anaesthetists and intensivists are already using cuffed ETTs in infants >3 kg from birth, should neonatologists be doing the same? This review examines the reasons behind the traditional use of uncuffed ETTs and the problems associated with their use; newer HVLP cuffed ETTs and what they can potentially offer neonates; and reviews evidence from studies comparing the use of cuffed and uncuffed ETTs in neonates and small infants.
传统上,无套囊气管内插管(ETT)一直用于婴儿和儿童的人工通气。最近,设计更新的高容量低压(HVLP)套囊ETT在出生后的婴儿中使用频率越来越高。鉴于许多儿科麻醉师和重症监护医生已经在对出生时体重>3 kg的婴儿使用套囊ETT,新生儿科医生是否也应该这样做呢?本文综述了传统使用无套囊ETT的背后原因及其使用相关问题;新型HVLP套囊ETT及其可能为新生儿带来的益处;并回顾了比较套囊和无套囊ETT在新生儿和小婴儿中使用情况的研究证据。
