Prolonged Endotracheal Intubation

Chest, 1979
The advisability of prolonged oral or nasotracheal intubation is of continuing concern to physicians caring for patients requiring prolonged mechanical ventilatory assistance. Currently, in many health care centers, prolonged intubation is defined as being in excess of seven days.

Prolonged Intubation of Neonates

Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1987
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.

Prolonged Oro- or Nasotracheal Intubation

Survey of Anesthesiology, 1981
From July 1975 to September 1979, 6 patients were treated with truly prolonged endotracheal intubation; the duration ranged from 55--155 days. Only patients who survived after extubation and were discharged from the hospital were included in this study.

What Is Prolonged Intubation?

Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 1973
The risk of damage to the upper airways by nasotracheal intubation is influenced not only by its duration, but also by a number of other factors.

Laryngeal Complications of Prolonged Intubation

Chest, 1989
In this study, 82 patients who experienced translaryngeal intubation (TLI) for more than four days were prospectively evaluated for laryngeal complications. At the time of extubation or tracheostomy, direct laryngoscopy was performed in these patients and laryngeal damage evaluated.

Untoward sequelae of prolonged intubation

The Laryngoscope, 1985
AbstractLaryngeal sequelae following prolonged endotracheal intubation are being observed with increasing frequency as this technique of airway management is being employed for extended periods of time. Many etiologic factors have been implicated in the development of these problems with the exact reasons being as yet unknown.

Laryngeal Effects of Prolonged Intubation

Anesthesia & Analgesia, 1984
Improved care for acute respiratory failure requires prolonged placement of an endotracheal tube. Whether a tracheotomy or a translaryngeal endotracheal tube is the better choice remains controversial. With the use of high-volume low-pressure cuffs, both routes of intubation have similar low rates of cuff-induced complications.

Wider application of prolonged nasotracheal intubation

The Journal of Laryngology & Otology, 1973
SummaryENCOURAGED by reports of the treatment of laryngotracheal obstruction with nasotracheal intubation (N.T.I.), we began in 1965 to use this method in patients presenting such problems. At the outset we decided to use unsterilized and siliconized P.V.C. tubes in order to avoid toxicity and to provide ‘boundary lubrication’.

Laryngeal Dysfunction following Prolonged Intubation

Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology, 1979
Prolonged endotracheal intubation in the adult is becoming more popular with the advent of “soft” tubes and cuffs. The many deleterious effects of such long-term intubation on the laryngotrachea have been extensively discussed in the literature. However, only sporatic attention has been given to vocal cord paresis or paralysis.

Prolonged endotracheal intubation vs. tracheostomy

Critical Care Medicine, 1986
A trend has developed in recent years to employ longer periods of endotracheal intubation before performing tracheostomy. This review summarizes the advantages, disadvantages, pathology, and complications associated with both means of airway control. Although endotracheal intubation for up to 3 wk has been tolerated without sequelae, the optimal time ...
