PROLONGED ENDOTRACHEAL INTUBATION IN THE NEWBORN INFANT

V. HARRISON, H. DE V. HEESE, M. KLEIN and A. F. MALAN

Neonatal Respiratory Unit, Department of Child Health, University of Cape Town and Groote Schuur Hospital Cape Town, South Africa

A method of prolonged endotracheal intubation is described in newborn infants suffering from hyaline membrane disease. These infants required assisted ventilation for from 3 to 43 days to correct the features of respiratory failure. The only complication following detubation was the presence of a hoarse voice which persisted up to 48 hours. Histological sections of trachea, larynx and cords revealed no abnormalities in infants who initially required intubation and who subsequently died of unrelated causes.
