Effectiveness of substantial shortening of the endotracheal tube for decreasing airway resistance and increasing tidal volume during pressure-controlled ventilation in pediatric patients: a prospective observational study
2022-10-21
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Purpose: </h4> : Anesthesiologists often shorten endotracheal tubes (ETTs) because the resistance of the ETT (R ETT ) is believed to be a major contributor to total airway resistance (R total ) in children intubated with ETTs of smaller inner diameter. However, the effectiveness of ETT shortening for mechanical ventilation in the clinical setting has not been reported. In this work, we performed a prospective...
