[Prolonged intubation in children (author's transl)].
217 cases of prolonged intubation in children are described, with its manipulation and complications. They are more frequent when the reason for intubation is infection of the upper airway, in which case it should not be applied for longer than a week. It is very important to use tubes that provide an adequate airway with the smallest possible caliber.
