Tracheal tube sizes were selected as follows: internal diameter (ID) 3.0\u2003mm, birth (if \u22653\u2003kg) to &lt;6\u2003months; ID 3.5\u2003mm, 6 to &lt;18\u2003months; ID 4.0\u2003mm, 18\u2003months to &lt;3\u2003years; ID 4.5\u2003mm, 3 to &lt;5\u2003years. Tracheal tubes with the cuff not inflated were classified as too large if no air leak was obtained at an airway pressure of \u226420\u2003cmH<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>O. Post\u2010intubation stridor requiring therapy was noted.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:\u2002<\/jats:bold> Three hundred and fifty children were studied. Nine tracheal tubes (2.6%) were too large and had to be exchanged: in patients requiring tracheal tubes of ID 3.0\u2003mm and 3.5\u2003mm, three and four tracheal tubes, respectively, and, in patients requiring tracheal tubes of ID 4.0\u2003mm and 4.5\u2003mm, one tracheal tube in each group. In three patients (0.9%), post\u2010intubation stridor occurred which required therapy.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion:\u2002<\/jats:bold> The new recommendation presented for the use of second\u2010generation Microcuff PETs with improved OD to ID ratio allows the selection of cuffed tracheal tubes with larger IDs than previously recommended for small children without increased need for tracheal tube exchange or increased incidence of post\u2010intubation stridor in these age groups.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1399-6576.2006.01003.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,4,25]],"date-time":"2006-04-25T13:15:17Z","timestamp":1145970917000},"page":"557-561","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":71,"title":["Evaluation of a new recommendation for improved cuffed tracheal tube size selection in infants and small children"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"50","author":[{"given":"B.","family":"Salgo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A.","family":"Schmitz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"G.","family":"Henze","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"K.","family":"Stutz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A.","family":"Dullenkopf","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"S.","family":"Neff","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A.
