    AbstractSixty-one consecutive medical intensive care unit patients who were intubated for more than three days were prospectively studied for complications. Patients who were reintubated had a higher incidence of all complications (chi square = 5.4; p less than .025), as did those with prolonged intubation (chi square = 16.1; p less than .005). Neither route nor urgency had an adverse clinical effect. In contrast there was a 13 percent incidence of acute tracheolaryngeal complications, but no association was found with reintubation, route, urgency, or total duration of endotracheal intubation.
