lüll Single-stage laryngotracheal reconstruction: the Great Ormond Street experience and guidelines for patient selection McQueen CT; Shapiro NL; Leighton S; Guo XG; Albert DMArch Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg 1999[Mar]; 125 (3): 320-2OBJECTIVES: To review all patients undergoing single-stage laryngotracheal reconstruction and to determine guidelines to predict successful outcomes and prevent the necessity of tracheotomy following laryngotracheal reconstruction. DESIGN: Chart review. SETTING: Tertiary care children's hospital. PATIENTS: A retrospective chart review was performed at our institution involving all patients who underwent single-stage laryngotracheal reconstruction from 1993 through 1996. A total of 28 patients were reviewed. RESULTS: Based on this chart review, a statistically higher incidence of extubation complications (P = .045), ie, bleeding, reintubation, or subcutaneous emphysema, occurred in children who weighed less than 4 kg. Although not statistically significant (P>.99), the relative risks of failure, defined as tracheotomy dependent or significant airway compromise following single-stage laryngotracheal reconstruction, were 3.43 if the child's weight was less than 4 kg at the time of surgery and 2.31 if the gestational age was less than 30 weeks at the time of surgery. Length of time for intubation did not appear to have any effect on outcome. CONCLUSIONS: Patients' gestational age and weight at the time of surgery appear to have the most impact on successful outcome. Children weighing more than 4 kg and those with gestational age of greater than 30 weeks appear to have a greater chance at successful extubation and eventual patent airway. Duration of intubation following single-stage laryngotracheal reconstruction does not appear to affect outcome.|*Patient Selection[MESH]|Body Weight[MESH]|Child[MESH]|Child, Preschool[MESH]|Female[MESH]|Gestational Age[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Infant[MESH]|Intubation, Intratracheal[MESH]|Laryngostenosis/*surgery[MESH]|Larynx/*surgery[MESH]|Male[MESH]|Retrospective Studies[MESH]|Time Factors[MESH]|Trachea/*surgery[MESH]|Treatment Outcome[MESH] |
