Description
Nichanan Jongthitinon and five co-authors test whether sound scans of the throat can warn of noisy breathing after a breathing tube is removed in children. That noisy state is common in intensive care and no single test has proved strong. They scanned children who passed a breathing trial.
About one in five children had the problem within two days. Two scan measures beat a leak test by a small edge in older children, though all scores were modest. One free space measure did best. The authors see promise, not proof, and call for care in use.
