Abstract

In a small prospective series of 10 children who presented with incipient subglottic stenosis following neonatal intubation a protocol of formal reintubation for two weeks, with sedation, enabled six of the children to avoid tracheostomy or other forms of surgery and in the remaining four it is unlikely that the trial of reintubation made the degree of laryngeal and subglottic damage worse.
