Filter by:The goal of this observational study is to assess the laryngeal air column width difference measurement on point of care ultrasound as a predictive indicator of post-extubation stridor in the pediatric critical care population. The main question it claims to answer is: In pediatric intensive care unit patients, can point of care ultrasound measurements of laryngeal air column width difference be used as a sensitive and specific tool to predict post extubation stridor in comparison to standard qualitative and quantitative evaluations? Participants will be enrolled when they are on or approaching extubation readiness. At this time, an ultrasound of their airway will be performed by the investigators and the laryngeal air column width difference will be recorded.
Single Use Flexible bronchoscopes have gained popularity in recent years and are becoming technologically more advanced. They are widely accepted and used in everyday practice for simple procedures. The aim of this study is to evaluate single use flexible bronchoscopes in more advanced settings, such as interventional pulmonary procedures.
Endotracheal intubation can induce laryngotracheal injury which results in narrowing of the airway due to edema of the glottis. This can increase the risk of development of post-extubation stridor (PES)
