ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how endotracheal intubation, a procedure where a tube is placed in the throat to help a child breathe, affects the larynx (the voice box) in children. The goal is to find out if this procedure can cause any injury to the larynx, which could help doctors spot problems early on. The study is looking for children between 2 months and 18 years old who have undergone intubation for 24 hours or more, whether it was done in an emergency or planned setting.

Children with certain conditions, such as congenital laryngeal problems or previous surgeries in the head and neck area, won’t be eligible to participate. While the trial is not yet recruiting participants, those who are eligible can expect to be monitored for any potential laryngeal hazards after intubation. This research is important as it aims to improve the safety and care of children who require this procedure in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit.
