Background
y The use of cuffed tracheal tubes (TTs) in smallchildren is still controversial.
y The aim of this study was to compare post-extubationmorbidity and TT exchange rates when using cuffed vsuncuffed tubes in small children.

Methods.
y Patients were prospectively randomized into a cuffedTT group (Microcuff® PET) and an uncuffed TT group
(Mallinckrodt®,P
ortex®, Rsch®, Sheridan®).

Methodsy Endpoints were incidence of post-extubation stridor
and the number of TT exchanges to find anappropriate-sized tube.
y
For cuffed TTs, minimal cuff pressure required to sealthe airway was noted; maximal cuff pressure waslimited at 2 cm H2 with a pressure release valve.
y Data are mean (SD).

Data management and statistical analysis
y Completed data forms were copied at the local centreand the original data forms sent to the organizers and
checked.y All analyses have been calculated using SAS (Version
.2, SAS Inc., Cary, NC, USA) or SPSS (Version 1 ,SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA).

Results
y 4 study envelopes were sent to the study centres.
y Due to manufacturer problem of TT, the study was
stopped ahead of schedule.y A total of 2406 completed data forms were returned
from the study centres.
y 160 data forms (106 in the cuffed group/54 in the
uncuffed group) had to be excluded because the agegroup or the TT size with regard to age group was notcorrectly selected.

Results
y Finally, 2246 children from 24 study centres wereinvestigated (1119/1127 cuffed/uncuffed tubes).
y5 patients (1 in the cuffed group/4 in the uncuffedgroup) remained intubated after operation and werenot included in the assessment of post-intubationmorbidity.
yNumbers of patients investigated per centre rangedfrom 7 to 1 ; median 3 patients

y Childrens age was 1.93 (1.48) yr in the initially cuffed(n=1119) and 1.87 (1.45) yr in the initially uncuffed

Minimal cuff pressure to seal the trachea in the cuffedgroup was 10.6 (4.3) cm H2 .

Discussiony Why the incidence of post-extubation stridor was not
affected by the use of cuffed TTs ?
- An anatomically designed high volume- low pressuretube cuff
- A controlled and limited cuff pressure was used
- The tube size selected strictly according to size
recommendations.

Discussiony Cuffed tubes were selected with a smaller diameter,
and the cuff was inflated as required to fill theindividual gap between the tube and the tracheal wall
15 times reduced need for TT changes
less use of throat packaging
y to find an appropriate TT at the first attempt was97.9% for cuffed and only 69.5% for uncuffed TTs.

Discussiony The cuff inflation pressure (10.6 cm H2 ) needed to
accomplish an adequate tracheal seal was substantially
less than with other paediatric TT cuffs
y The better tracheal seal by the TT cuff result in areliable capnography trace

Conclusions.y The use of cuffed TTs in small children provides
- a reliably sealed airway at cuff pressures of 20 cm H2 ,
- reduces the need for TT exchanges,- does not increase the risk for post-extubation stridor
compared with uncuffed TTs.
