Exchange rates of second generation Microcuff® pediatric endotracheal tubes in children weighing more than 3 kg
These findings indicate that the second generation Microcuff® PETs can be reliably used with low tube exchange rates across the entire pediatric age range when the tube size is selected according to the manufacturer's size recommendation chart. Adherence to the manufacturer's tube size recommendation is urgently advised.
