Different opinions have developed on the use of endotracheal intubation in newborns and neonates for airway distress syndrome. The ensuing complications of the prolonged use of these airway tubes are drawing increased interest. This article reviews the case reports of 88 patients who received endotracheal intubation for airway problems and evaluates the complication rate as it correlates to the various contributing factors of duration of intubation, size of endotracheal tube, frequency of intubation, concomitant infections, and age of patient, which all lead to the complication rate.
对于在新生儿和早产儿中使用气管插管治疗气道窘迫综合征，已经出现了不同的观点。这些气道导管长期使用所引发的并发症正引起越来越多的关注。本文回顾了88例因气道问题接受气管插管的患者的病例报告，并评估了并发症发生率与插管持续时间、气管导管尺寸、插管频率、合并感染及患者年龄等各种相关因素之间的关系，而这些因素均会导致并发症的发生。
