Featured paper: Endotracheal tube cuff position in relationship to the walls of the trachea: A retrospective computed tomography‑based analysis
In this episode, we dive into groundbreaking research that used CT imaging to peek inside kids' airways during surgery—and discovered something shocking. For decades, doctors believed that the balloon-like cuffs on breathing tubes inflate evenly and stay centered in children's windpipes. But this first-of-its-kind study reveals the truth: these cuffs often inflate unevenly and shift off-center, potentially putting young patients at risk for airway injuries. Join us as we explore how this discovery challenges medical assumptions, what it means for the safety of pediatric procedures, and why this research is sparking urgent calls for better breathing tube designs. Essential listening for anyone interested in how medical science evolves to protect our most vulnerable patients.
