As the capabilities of modern medicine allow the survival of babies with increasingly lower gestational ages and birth weights, there is an increasing concern regarding the development of subglottic stenosis in those infants subjected to prolonged intubation. In this study, the general safety of neonatal intubation is assessed by a retrospective analysis of neonates who required intubation at Columbus (Ohio) Children's Hospital during a three-year period from 1977 to 1980. Of 343 surviving neonates, five (1.5%) developed clinically significant subglottic stenosis. The conclusion of this study is that endotracheal intubation is a safe method of airway management in neonates, even when used for extended periods.
随着现代医学技术的发展，越来越多孕周更小、出生体重更低的婴儿得以存活，这使得人们越来越关注那些接受长时间插管的婴儿发生声门下狭窄的情况。在本研究中，通过对1977年至1980年期间在俄亥俄州哥伦布市儿童医院需要插管的新生儿进行回顾性分析，评估了新生儿插管的总体安全性。在343名存活的新生儿中，有5名（1.5%）出现了具有临床意义的声门下狭窄。本研究的结论是，气管插管是新生儿气道管理的一种安全方法，即使长时间使用也是如此。
