Dear colleague,


Intubation in the pediatric population potentially results in severe laryngeal injury either through the act of intubation itself or the pressure exerted by the endotracheal tube. The development of severe laryngeal injury after intubation is thought to be multifactorial and various contributing factors have been mentioned in the literature, including age, duration of intubation, multiple intubations, traumatic intubation, absence of air leak, the use of a cuffed tube and infection, but study results have been inconsistent. 

We are very interested which factors you, as an expert, feel that are associated with the development of severe laryngeal injury after intubation in the pediatric population and whether your expert opinion influences your treatment when dealing with a patient with one or more of these factors.

We know that your time is extremely valuable but we would appreciate you filling out our survey. The length of the survey is approximately 5 to 10 minutes. It is our intention to present the results of this survey on an international congress and to publish the results of this survey in a peer reviewed medical journal. 

Survey topic: Severe laryngeal injury after intubation in the pediatric population.

Length of survey: 5 – 10 minutes.
