Endotracheal tube leak patterns to predict post-extubation stridor in children

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study will collect high-resolution endotracheal tube (ETT) leak data from children in the pediatric intensive care unit and follow them through extubation to record any occurrence of post-extubation stridor (PES). Investigators will compare leak presence with both inflated and deflated cuffs and analyze leak trends over time rather than single snapshot measurements. The study includes children aged 0–16 who have been ventilated via an ETT for at least six hours and will be conducted at Antwerp University Hospital. No interventions are performed; clinical care proceeds per usual practice while data are recorded.
