Prehospital Tracheal Intubation vs Bag-Mask
                 Ventilation
Bag-mask
 ventilation : as
 effective as
 intubation if
 transport time is
 short
Need training and
 experience
Must confirmation of
 tube position
Monitoring


                         43
Use of Cuffed Endotracheal Tubes



In-hospital setting, a cuffed ETT : as
 safe as an uncuffed tube for infants
 (except the newborn) and children
Keep cuff inflation pressure <20 cm
 H2O


    Cuffed ETT size (mm) = (age (yr) /4) + 3
      Uncuff size (mm): (age (yr) /4) + 4

                    distal end.
                   The LMA is blindly
                    introduced into the
                    pharynx until resistance is
                    met; the cuff is then
                    inflated and ventilation
                    assessed.
