POCUS of the Pediatric Critical Airway

NCT06212037 · Status: RECRUITING · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 150

Last updated 2024-01-18

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The goal of this observational study is to assess the laryngeal air column width difference measurement on point of care ultrasound as a predictive indicator of post-extubation stridor in the pediatric critical care population.

The main question it claims to answer is: In pediatric intensive care unit patients, can point of care ultrasound measurements of laryngeal air column width difference be used as a sensitive and specific tool to predict post extubation stridor in comparison to standard qualitative and quantitative evaluations?

Participants will be enrolled when they are on or approaching extubation readiness. At this time, an ultrasound of their airway will be performed by the investigators and the laryngeal air column width difference will be recorded.

Point of Care Ultrasound

Point of Care Ultrasound will be performed on all subjects and their laryngeal air column width difference will be calculated. The patients will be followed after extubation and the presence/absence of post extubation stridor will be recorded.
