Use of cuffed endotracheal tubes in pediatric anesthesia

Airway Anesthesia Intubation Pediatric anesthesia
Modern cuffed endotracheal tubes are a superior airway device for children and neonates, offering better ventilation mechanics, fewer tube changes, and fewer short-term respiratory complications, with no clinically significant downside.

  Work of breathing for cuffed and uncuffed pediatric endotracheal tubes in an in vitro lung model setting.
  
  Paediatr Anaesth. 2018 Sep 1; 28 (9): 780-787.
  
  Although cuffed paediatric endotracheal tubes increase work-of-breathing and inspiratory pressures, this is easily compensated for by pressure support ventilation with automatic tube compensation, and so has limited clinical significance.
