ABSTRACT

Introduction: Pediatric orotracheal intubation has increased survival rates in severe illnesses; however, one of the consequences maybe the development of subglottic stenosis. This population is at a higher risk of developing it due to anatomical differences compared to adults. The incidence of subglottic stenosis following orotracheal intubation has decreased over time as reported in the literature. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of this condition in our population and describe the clinical, demographic, and diagnostic characteristics in the pediatric population diagnosed with subglottic stenosis following orotracheal intubation at the San Vicente Fundación Hospital. Additionally, it aimed to evaluate the prevalence of this diagnosis during the mentioned period. Materials and Methods: A retrospective study was conducted by reviewing medical records of patients with ICD-10 codes for laryngeal stenosis and for subglottic stenosis secondary to procedures. Also, the patients with the procedure code for orotracheal intubation were identified. A descriptive analysis was performed based on the distribution of variables. Results: The prevalence of subglottic stenosis was 13%. There was a majority of male cases, and the primary cause of intubation was lower respiratory tract infection, mainly bronchiolitis. The most frequent comorbidities included prematurity, swallowing disorders, and broncho-obstructive syndrome. Median duration of intubation was 19 days, and lower-grade stenosis was more commonly encountered. Conclusions: Subglottic stenosis is a complication of pediatric orotracheal intubation, with a prevalence of 13% in this study. Patients who develop this condition require one or more procedures to establish a patent airway and often experience prolonged hospital stays.
