Evaluation of neonatal subglottic stenosis: A 3‐year prospective study

Abstract: Subglottic stenosis is the most common cause of chronic airway obstruction. It results in prolonged tracheal cannulation of infants and children. Following the widespread adoption over the past 20 years of prolonged intubation for respiratory support in neonates, the incidence of acquired subglottic stenosis increased dramatically. On January 1, 1987, we began a 3-year prospective study to delineate potential etiologic factors involved in the development of subglottic stenosis in neonates. The present study an… Show more

“…SGS is a serious long-term complication of endotracheal intubation in the neonate, with previous reported incidences of SGS ranging from 1 to 13% [3,6,10,13,18,19]. Although the incidence of airway injury is felt to be decreasing in today's modern neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) with meticulous management of the airways of VLBW infants, some centres still report a high frequency of complications, including SGS and tracheomalacia [19].…”

“…Estudos conduzidos nos anos 70 mostravam uma incidência de 3,8% a 8,3% 8,15,[22][23][24][25] . Aqueles realizados posteriormente mostraram ausência de estenose subglótica em algumas sé-ries 26,27 ou baixa incidência em outros estudos (0,4%-3,2%) 10,11,13,14,28,29 . Relatos com elevadas incidências dessa forma de lesão (12,8%-24,5%) são provavelmente decorrentes das características da população estudada (recém-nascidos de muito baixo peso ao nascimento) e pela maior sobrevida desses pacientes 9,12 .…”

“…A menor incidência de estenose subglótica nos recém-nascidos incluídos no presente estudo pode ter sido decorrente do fato de a nossa população não ter sido fortemente representada por neonatos prematuros de muito baixo peso (média do peso a extubação = 2.539,4 ± 833,3; variação= 1.250 -4.600g). Nos demais estudos o peso de nascimento médio foi de 1.229,7 ± 137,3 gramas com variação de 496 a 4.850g [9][10][11][12][13][14] . A prematuridade extrema pressupõe uma maior duração da intubação com maior risco de exposição às demais variáveis de risco, além da imaturidade do sistema respiratório.…”
